*: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the reality of cultural institutions during 2020 due to frequent lock-downmeasures to limit the spread of the virus. The number of museums visitors and the number of theatre visitors were decreased, the number of participants in cultural activities held in cultural centres witnessed a remarkable increase compared to the previous years since activities were arranged virtually.
**: Gaza Strip data represent the first half of 2023. Note: Data for Gaza Strip for 2024 is not available due to the ongoing aggression on the Strip since October 7, 2023.
