I appreciate the first-person account. I have been stressing over and over to people in North America that this is not, and must not be called, a "war". It is many things, but that isn't one.

This piece highlights the heartbreaking impact that prolonged conflict has had on education in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of children have faced disrupted or suspended schooling due to infrastructure destruction and displacement. Access to education is not just about classrooms and books it’s fundamental to a child’s future and community resilience, and finding ways to support learning continuity in crisis situations is crucial. For those looking at educational systems and resources globally, sites like Schools Result (https://schools.result.pk/

) can offer insight into how schooling and academic progress are tracked and supported in more stable contexts. It’s important that conversations about education in emergencies include both immediate needs and long‑term strategies for rebuilding a full learning environment

Unfortunately the horrific destruction of educational facilities for young people in Palestine does not come as a surprise. The Zionist only needs propaganda institutions and finds real education to be anathema to its ideology. The willful bombing of enlightened educational facilities is Zionism writ large. There is no place for thought within the ideology. Restitution cannot come soon enough at full cost to the perpetrator.

Dear Sara, many thanks for your writing. I appreciated it very much. It’s very clear for me that only food, water and a shelter are not enough. Palestinian people need schools and universities and books. The people who provided poets and writers and a beautiful literature cannot continue living in this awful situation ‼️😱😰

The Palestinian people remain in my prayers, that justice will prevail and for just retribution for all the crimes against humanity committed by the nihilistic terrorists and land thieves embedded in the Zionist project.
