Gaza students return to in-person schooling for first time in three years
- On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children returned to in-person classes across the Gaza Strip for the first time in nearly three years, attending makeshift schools in tents and damaged buildings.
- The United Nations Children's Fund reports that 98% of schools in Gaza were destroyed or damaged during the war, prompting officials to establish temporary learning centers using tents and tarpaulins.
- Stationery trader Khaled Aliyan noted notebook prices surged from 3 shekels to 15 shekels due to import restrictions, while 15-year-old Samar Abu Salmi said she is "pursuing our dream" despite lacking supplies.
- At least 540,000 students are expected to attend classes this year in temporary facilities, which Ibrahim Ramadan, director of education for East Khan Younis, describes as a "fragile milestone."
- While in-person classes resume, online learning continues for those unable to attend, as Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of using schools for military purposes, which Hamas denies.
