- ... that before the Flour Massacre during the Gaza war, Al-Rashid Street was called the street that never sleeps?
Thepharoah17 (talk) 00:04, 30 December 2025 (UTC).
- @Thepharoah17: thanks for writing this much-needed article on a street that has been in the news, and the bearer of such tragedy, for so long.
- Some suggestions:
- This map from Salah al-Din Road shows that Al-Rashid road has different names further south (Coastal Road, Yasser Arafat). This should be explained – the article would benefit from a map anyway.
- The details of the Course section are not fully supported by the BBC citation – can you add other sources?
- The hook (and the respective section in the article) says the it was "
was known as
" the street that never sleeps. As far as I can see the MEE source doesn’t say that – it calls it that, but doesn’t say that other people call it that.

- I amended the article in response to the points above and changed the hook from "known as" to "called" Thepharoah17 (talk) 14:49, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Thepharoah17: the Course section is still unsourced - the BBC citation does not refer explicitly to this road, or verify the statement that the road runs across the entire Strip. Onceinawhile (talk) 10:47, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- Alright, I replaced the section, since it was failed verification. Thepharoah17 (talk) 12:28, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Onceinawhile: Have your concerns been resolved? Z1720 (talk) 16:41, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes the article looks good now. The hook reads awkwardly - I suggest we flip it round:
- ALT1... that Al-Rashid Street, described as the street that never sleeps, was the location of the Flour Massacre during the Gaza war?

- Ok that's fine with me. Thepharoah17 (talk) 18:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
