War has pushed Gaza’s children to the brink – “like the living dead”
UNICEF says most displaced children are living in tents or damaged buildings as aid groups warn of severe trauma, hunger and a lost generation.
- A new report from the University of Cambridge and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees details the collapse of education across Palestine, warning of a "lost" generation due to war and trauma.
- As of October 1, 2025, 18,069 students and 780 education staff were killed in Gaza, while 26,391 students and 3,211 teachers were injured; Save the Children estimates 15 children sustained life-altering injuries daily.
- Since October 2023, 891 students and 28 teachers have been killed or injured in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where schools face "arbitrary" arrests and persistent disruptions. Children there lost at least 2.5 years of schooling.
- Restoring education requires US$1.38 billion, yet OCHA received only 5.7% of the US$230.3 million requested by July 2025. This funding gap fuels "donor fatigue" and deepens despair among families.
- Professor Pauline Rose, Director of the Research for Equitable Access and Learning Centre at Cambridge, warned that children's lives are "on the brink of a complete breakdown," requiring urgent international support.

War has pushed Gaza’s children to the brink – “like the living dead”
A new study warns that war in Gaza has pushed children to the edge, leaving many too hungry, weak, or traumatized to learn. Education has nearly collapsed, with years of schooling lost to conflict, hunger, and fear. Researchers say children are losing faith in the future and in basic ideas like peace and human rights. Without urgent aid, Gaza faces the risk of a lost generation.
Among the victims a nine-year-old and a seven-year-old child. Since the ceasefire came into force, in October 2025, the deaths in the Strip have exceeded 1500. Unicef: more than 340 children killed in the truce
