NUSEIRAT, Gaza Strip — In November, Syrian refugee Anas Amir Mohammed Agha Qatarji opened a restaurant in the market of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. He named it Jar al-Qalaa II, in memory of Jar al-Qalaa, the restaurant he ran in Aleppo’s Old City before it was destroyed during the Syrian conflict.
At the end of 2012, Jar al-Qalaa restaurant closed its doors due to a lack of customers; the restaurant was completely destroyed following the bombing by the Syrian opposition of the nearby Carlton Hotel in May 2014.
