Khan Yunis Grain Market Resumes After 120 Years
Palestinian merchants have resumed their activities at the historic grain market in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip after 120 years of operation. This effort aims to revive a longstanding commercial heritage despite the effects of the Israeli war that caused economic decline and infrastructure deterioration. On October 14, 2026, the market saw vendors returning to their stalls amid a slowdown in commercial activity. The goal is to provide income sources for families, even as security and economic challenges continue, along with the war's impact on daily life in the area. This step reflects the Palestinians' efforts to preserve their economic and social heritage and to revive one of their commercial symbols in the face of widespread damage to Gaza.
