Gaza's abandoned airport in ruins - BBC News
No planes have taken off or landed at Yasser Arafat International for 17 years.
In 1998 the Yasser Arafat International Airport was built in Gaza.

It was seen by many as a symbol of Palestinian sovereignty, soon after the Oslo Accords were signed by Israel and the Palestinians, in a move towards peace.

But by 2001, the airport was no longer operational.
