The Mayasem Association for Culture and Arts' "Guardians of Heritage" team has rescued more than 1,700 historical pieces from four museum collections in Gaza. This effort comes as at least 164 cultural sites in Gaza have been damaged between October 2023 and March 2026, according to UNESCO. The team faces significant challenges, including continued displacement, a shortage of specialized restoration equipment, and Israeli military restrictions, particularly when working near the dangerous "Yellow Line" dividing zone. Currently operating from a tent in Khan Younis, the recovered artifacts are vulnerable to volatile weather conditions, insects, rodents, humidity, mold, and vibrations.
