In their war on Gaza, the Israelis pulverized the educational sector in the enclave. There are no schools, no colleges and no universities due to the mass bombs deliberately targeting these institutions since 7 October, 2023.

Over 90,000 Palestinian university students in Gaza have no universities to go back to when the war ends. In the long-term the Israelis may want to create an illiterate population in the enclave which becomes easier to control.

Israel’s bombings have turned all of the 12 universities in the Strip into piles of rubble, campuses a wreck, student lecture halls no longer exist, tumbledown buildings have become the standard textbook cases of woes and misery underlined by running sewers and dirty water floods.

You talk about taking back your universities. Over 90,000 Palestinian university students in Gaza have no university to go back to when the war ends. Israel’s bombings have turned all 12 universities into rubble, killed over 100 deans and professors. It’s called scholasticide.
