For one night only: Gaza's first proper cinema in three decades

Several hundred Gazans went to the cinema on Saturday for the first time in more than 30 years, albeit for one night only.The long-abandoned Samer Cinema in Gaza City, the oldest in the strip but closed for decades, hosted a special screening of a film about Palestinians in Israeli prisons.The Islamist Hamas group has ruled Gaza for 10 years and there are currently no functioning cinemas in the Palestinian territory where two million people live in cramped conditions under an Israeli blockade.
