A question for anyone from Gaza or familiar with Gaza:
Where is the location of this huge rally? I left Gaza almost 40 years ago, and things have changed a lot. For example where is the location relative to Al-Shifa hospital or the building of the Legislative Council and the old statue of the Unknown Soldier?

I would appreciate an answer.
