- Tens of thousands of Palestinian children returned to classrooms in Gaza for the start of a new school year in makeshift learning spaces.
- Israeli attacks destroyed most schools in the strip over nearly three years, according to an Al Jazeera report by Hani Mahmoud published on 20 September 2026.
Why it matters: For Gaza's school-age children, classroom access is the first step toward restoring normalcy after nearly three years of attacks wiped out most educational infrastructure. The makeshift tent spaces confirm that formal school rebuilding remains far off, leaving an entire generation's schooling dependent on temporary structures.
