Hundreds of thousands of Gazan children began the school year in fabric shelters and makeshift wooden structures rather than classrooms, Mondoweiss reported. The shift marks the fourth consecutive year students have foregone traditional school buildings, as the territory's education infrastructure has sustained devastating damage.
Israel's military campaign has destroyed much of Gaza's school system, leaving educators and families to improvise learning spaces in displacement camps and emergency shelters. Students are attempting to continue their education amid ongoing displacement and resource scarcity.
