The new school year in Gaza has begun with a devastating reality: all schools remain closed, leaving an entire generation of children in educational limbo.

This unprecedented situation has sparked fears of a “lost generation,” with children missing out on crucial learning and development opportunities.

The closure of schools is a direct consequence of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has left Gaza’s infrastructure in ruins and its economy in shambles. The lack of funding and resources has made it impossible for schools to reopen, leaving hundreds of thousands of children without access to education.

“This is a humanitarian crisis,” said [Name], a spokesperson for [Organization]. “Children are being robbed of their right to education, and the consequences will be felt for years to come.”

The international community has called for the immediate reopening of schools in Gaza, but so far, no concrete action has been taken. Meanwhile, parents and educators are desperately searching for alternative solutions to keep children learning, but the options are limited and often inadequate.

The closure of schools is a major setback for Gaza’s already struggling education system. Before the conflict, the territory faced numerous challenges, including overcrowding, teacher shortages, and a lack of resources. The current situation has only exacerbated these problems, leaving the future of education in Gaza hanging in the balance.

“We are facing a lost generation,” said [Name], a teacher in Gaza. “These children are missing out on so much, and it’s heartbreaking to see.”

The closure of schools is a tragedy for Gaza’s children and a major blow to the territory’s future. The international community must take immediate action to ensure that schools can reopen and that all children have access to education.
