STORYLINE:
In the Gaza Strip, caring for antiquities is not common amid the high poverty and unemployment rates suffered by the two million residents of the seaside territory which has been placed under a tight Israeli blockade since 2007.

The Gaza Strip is rich in ancient antiquities.

The location of the enclave at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe made it the passageway for many human civilizations that left huge fortune behind.

In the whole Gaza Strip, there are only five registered museums showcasing thousands of pieces that represent various civilizations.

At least 184 archaeological sites have been discovered in the territory, but archaeologists believed that there were others underneath.
