00:00Hundreds of children return to their education in Gaza, despite several schools still laying
00:07in ruins.
00:08The majority of schools in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed by Israeli air raids since
00:12October 2023, and many families have also fled their homes, becoming refugees in their
00:18region.
00:19In the post-war, as you can see, we are living in the ruins of schools, but we are trying
00:25to salvage what we can be salvaged of the educational process so that this generation
00:30doesn't slip through our fingers.
00:33We are able to reopen some schools so that students could enroll and return to their
00:37education path.
00:41Last year, over 39,000 students were unable to take their final tests in school education,
00:46known as tawjihi.
00:48Some children resorted to online learning during the war.
00:51The children's future is ruined.
00:53Since the war began, we have suffered greatly when it comes to education in general.
00:58There used to be schools, and the children followed lessons directly from their teachers.
01:03But now there are no schools.
01:05All the schools were destroyed by the occupation.
01:07The children stopped going to school, and even if you tell them to come read or study,
01:12they won't accept.
01:16The war has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians and wounded over 111,000 others, according
01:23to the health ministry in Gaza, with also thousands still remaining in refugee centers.
