An exhibition in Paris showcases over 5,000 years of Gaza’s history through artefacts like Byzantine mosaics, Roman lamps, and Bronze Age relics. The display highlights the region’s rich cultural heritage, contrasting its ancient past with the devastation of ongoing war. Satellite images reveal damage to archaeological sites, while over 100 preserved items—some rescued decades ago—tell Gaza’s story. The exhibition aims to revive memory and honour a land scarred by conflict, where thousands have died and most buildings lie in ruins. Celebrating Gaza’s historical significance also challenges those who deny its cultural legacy. The artefacts, safeguarded abroad, remain a testament to resilience, their survival a twist of fate amid destruction. The show calls for peace and recognition of Palestine’s deep-rooted heritage.
