Pictures of opening celebration at Gaza’s al-Andalusia mall
Here are pictures and a story from the opening of Gaza’s new luxury al-Andalusia mall.
The biggest mall in the Gaza Strip opened its doors on Tuesday with several hundreds of residents thronging the complex.
The inaugural celebrations of the Al Andalusia Mall were as big as the mall itself, which houses branded clothes, cosmetics, office supplies, toys, shoes and appliances, etc.
But man, these people are good. They immediately try to convince us that they’re impoverished.
Despite the reasonable prices, not many were interested in buying goods due to the financial crisis facing the impoverished strip. Most residents are poor and added to that the government staff were paid only half their June salary due to financial crisis.

This is ridiculous. They try to paint a picture of “impoverished Gaza” (just do a google search on the term) and it seems to be sticking, regardless of whether it is true or not.
Funny thing about that –
