Look out for a sign over the road on the right of the junction.The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is saddened to have to report that Deir El Belah War Cemetery was damaged during a bomb attack in April 2008. The bomb severely damaged the Stone of Remembrance and Cross of Sacrifice but no graves were affected. The Commission appreciates the distress this news may cause to families of those buried at Deir el Belah but we wish to reassure the public that the damage will be assessed and repaired when it is safe to do so and access and materials can be secured.
Visitors are strongly advised to seek travel advice from their Embassy or Consulate before travelling to Gaza.
If using a vehicle with standard Israeli plates (other than one with CD plates) this MUST be parked at the crossing point outside of the barriers.
The Cemetery is permanently open and may be visited at any time.
Wheelchair access to cemetery is possible via the main entrance. For further information and enquiries please contact maoffice@cwgc.org
