Reporters Without Borders Beit Jibrin is a project dedicated to honoring the village of Beit Jibrin, recognizing its historical significance, and revealing truths obscured by occupation. This initiative embodies the voice of the Palestinian people, highlighting their struggle to reclaim their history and resist occupation. It aims to link the village’s rich past with its present remnants, ensuring that when the rightful owners return, their message of resilience and resistance will be globally acknowledged. Central to the project are three key historical structures: the mosque, the courthouse, and the Bell Caves. These elements symbolize the village’s heritage and provide the foundation for the Reporters Without Borders complex. The mosque, once a vital gathering place, will be renovated to retain its historical and religious character. The courthouse will be repurposed into a broadcasting radio station, amplifying the voices of Palestinians and delivering their message to the world. The RSF complex will also feature workshops, advocacy spaces, the Uncensored Library, safe areas for journalists, and administrative facilities. The Bell Caves, with their deep historical and cultural significance, will be linked to the RSF complex through a thoughtfully designed journey. This journey will immerse visitors in the caves' grandeur and their profound connection to the people of Beit Jibrin, illustrating how their history is intricately tied to the Palestinian narrative. This design symbolizes the emergence of truth from beneath the surface, reflecting RSF’s mission to reveal and champion the truth. By establishing a base in Beit Jibrin, Reporters Without Borders will support global justice and peace while continuing the legacy of Palestinian heroes. The project stands as a testament to their enduring resistance and serves as an inspiration for oppressed peoples worldwide. The project’s integration of the mosque, courthouse, and Bell Caves symbolizes the resilience and enduring spirit of the Palestinian people amidst relentless occupation. Renovating the mosque and transforming the courthouse into a broadcasting station directly addresses the crucial need for amplifying Palestinian voices and countering pervasive misinformation. The RSF complex will provide a platform for uncensored reporting, advocacy, and human rights defense, crucial in a context where such freedoms are severely restricted. The Bell Caves’ connection to the RSF complex through an immersive journey underscores the struggle to reveal the truth and resist suppression. This design not only connects visitors to the village’s rich heritage but also highlights the broader fight for justice and transparency in Palestine.

This project highlights a significant issue, which is the plight of displaced Gazans during armed conflicts between them and the Zionist entity. The project involves a strategy to manage the different war phases to alleviate the suffering of the displaced as much as possible.
In the first phase of the war, technology can intervene to organize the displacement process and facilitate the displaced people's access to essential services they need during the war. Additionally, it can provide multiple shelter options based on several factors, including the number of family members, the availability of materials, and the distance of displacement.
In the second phase of the war (the transitional phase), this stage is concerned with families and individuals who have lost their homes and have no shelter after the war until the reconstruction begins and a safe home is provided for them, offering all necessary services. The proposed shelter in the transitional phase can be applied in cases of natural disasters, earthquakes, pandemics, etc... providing safe shelter from available materials that do not require pre-manufacturing.
The project focuses in all its stages on utilizing locally available materials to ensure no dependency on organizations or external aid for providing shelter materials. The aim is to use readily available materials that are easy to handle, assemble, and disassemble at any time without needing specialists in specific fields, such as carpenters, blacksmiths or welders.
The shelter structure consists of a cuplock scaffolding system, with an outer covering made of standard timber and extruded polystyrene insulation. Additionally, pallets are used for the roof and windows, which will be available once goods and food aid are brought into Gaza after the war. Other materials like mud and jute are used to create these emergency shelters from available materials, eliminating the need for manufacturing and time to procure them.
