On November 20, 2025, rubble removal efforts commenced at the historic Great Omari Mosque and the Palestinian Museum (Qasr al-Basha) in Gaza, which once housed 40,000 archaeological artefacts. The mosque, with 14 centuries of history, is the third-largest in Palestine and features Mamluk and Ottoman architectural elements. It serves as a significant place of worship for residents, especially during Ramadan. 📸 [Mohammed Asad/Middle East Monitor]
