As Israeli students return to classrooms, Gaza's schools lie in ruins

While 2.58 million Israeli students are returning to their classrooms, the education system in Gaza lies in ruins after two years of Israeli bombardment. According to the UN, over 660,000 children in Gaza are being deprived of schooling, with satellite imagery showing 97 percent of schools have sustained damage. Palestinian students who have survived are now wrestling with immense psychological trauma and the daily struggle for survival. For many children, thoughts of education have been replaced by the urgent need to find food and shelter, threatening to erase the future of an entire generation.
