Various of buildings used for shelter, people's belongings Storyline In the devastated landscape of Gaza City, makeshift tent schools have risen from the rubble, offering Palestinian children their first structured education in more than two years since the outbreak of a prolonged conflict. In western Gaza City, a temporary school housed in tents has become a rare sanctuary of learning for students whose education was abruptly cut off. With the majority of school buildings damaged or destroyed, emergency education initiatives led by international organizations and local partners are now delivering basic lessons under severely constrained conditions. "After children's education was interrupted for two years due to the war in Gaza, we at Sanabel School are now able to resume the learning process, and bring students back to their desks," said Heba Farwana, the school's principal. For these students, returning to school does not mean a return to normalcy. Classrooms are makeshift tents, resources are scarce, yet the determination to learn remains unwavering. "We've returned to Sanabel School after the war to achieve our dreams. Even though it's made of tents, we want to study and fulfill our ambitions," said a student named Nisreen Abu Jarad. Teachers report that the lengthy disruption has resulted in significant learning loss, particularly in foundational skills essential for academic development. "After two years without schooling, we can see that students' academic levels are very weak. Many struggle with spelling, writing, and reading, and there is a clear gap in basic skills," said Israa Qneita, a teacher at the school. According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, 91 percent of school buildings in Gaza will require either full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to become functional again. The agency previously operated 288 schools across the territory. In Gaza today, tents serve not only as shelters for the displaced but also as fragile replacements for destroyed schools. Education has become a daily act of resilience, a struggle to safeguard the future as an entire generation strives to learn amid profound uncertainty. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
