Story summary

On Saturday, Palestinian children in Gaza returned to schools for the first time in nearly three years after Israel’s military operations severely damaged or destroyed most educational facilities. With 98% of schools either ruined or heavily damaged, makeshift classrooms and tents are now being used across the territory. According to UNICEF, about 660,000 students have been deprived of regular education during this period. Despite harsh conditions, parents like Rana Totah in Gaza City's al-Katiba district welcomed their children back to school as a return to normalcy after months and years of displacement due to conflict. Local education officials reported that over 22,000 students and more than 770 educators, including 532 teachers, have lost their lives since the start of Israel's operations in October 2023.
