Shuja'iyya (Arabic: الشجاعية), also Shejaiya, Shijaiyeh, Shujayya, Shuja'ia, Shuja'iya, is a largely destroyed neighborhood district of the Palestinian city of Gaza and one of the largest neighborhoods in Gaza, once holding 92,000[1] to 100,000[2] residents. It is located east of Gaza's city center, and its nucleus is situated on a hill located across the main Salah al-Din Road that runs north-south throughout the Gaza Strip. Shuja'iyya contains several ancient structures, mosques and tombs.[3] The Commonwealth War Cemetery is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of the commercial center of the neighborhood.[4]
