Can Gaza rebuild its arts haven damaged by Israeli bombing?
The Arts and Crafts Village in Gaza City has provided a base for artists for nearly two decades, but after Israel's attack last month, the village needs help rebuilding.
An oasis for artists and artisans, Gaza City’s Arts and Crafts Village is struggling for survival after parts of it were destroyed following Israeli airstrikes on the neighborhood last month. The artists' hopes for reconstruction of the village largely depend on whether they can get international support.
A small haven of traditional Islamic architecture in western Gaza City's al-Remal neighborhood, the Arts and Crafts Village consists of four houses made of red clay. The interior walls and floors are covered with ceramics, and traditional artisanal tools hang on the walls.
