Tell me a little about your archaeological work and career in Gaza.
I am a specialist in archaeological restoration and excavation. I began my work in 1995 with the École Biblique as part of an agreement between France and the Palestinian National Authority. I have also worked with Unesco and the British Council on projects to uncover and preserve historical sites.
