NSosyalVolunteers work to restore damaged manuscripts at Gaza’s Great Omari Mosque Library
GAZA CITY, GAZA - MARCH 2: Palestinian volunteers are carrying out restoration, cleaning and cataloguing efforts to save damaged books and manuscripts at the Great Omari Mosque Library in Gaza City, Gaza, which was heavily damaged during Israeli attacks on March 2, 2026. The library, which housed approximately 20,000 books and manuscripts before the war, now reportedly holds only around 4,000 works following the strikes. Volunteers are carefully restoring items that were buried under rubble, worn out or had their pages severely damaged. Through these efforts, they aim to preserve Gaza’s cultural, literary and scientific heritage despite the destruction caused by the conflict.
