Rimal or Remal (Arabic: حي الرمال, lit. 'sands') is a neighborhood in Gaza City located 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) from the city center. Situated along the coastline, it was considered the most prosperous neighborhood of Gaza.[1] The main street that runs through Gaza, Omar Mukhtar Street runs northwest–southeast in the district and the main coastal road, Ahmad Orabi/Rasheed Street northeast-southwest.[2] Rimal is divided into the city districts of southern Rimal and northern Rimal.[3] The neighborhood is the site of multiple government ministries and has been severely damaged during the ongoing 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[4]
