"My father chose not to restore or demolish certain parts of our house as they are located within the Barquq Castle, with a history of over 600 years. Regarding claims that Gaza has a 70 percent level of destruction, I say that this is incorrect. I believe that 99 percent of Gaza has been destroyed, not just the archaeological sites."
