The historic Grain Market in Khan Younis, Gaza, has been heavily damaged amid ongoing Israeli attacks, which have also affected the nearby Barquq Castle. Once a vibrant commercial hub, the market is now characterized by empty shops and shattered alleys, with local traders like Nahed Barbakh lamenting the loss of customer traffic and economic vitality. The market, integral to the region’s history since its establishment in the late 14th century, is among over 200 heritage sites damaged since October 2023.
