Gaza Children Resume School After Extended Periods Without Education

In Gaza City, children are returning to makeshift classrooms in the wake of a ceasefire following two years of war, with over 97% of schools damaged or destroyed. The Lulwa Abdel Wahab al-Qatami School, now operating in tents, serves 1,100 students, offering limited education in basic subjects. Many pupils, like 14-year-old Naeem al-Asmaar, face trauma from the conflict, while parents express concerns over educational challenges and rising costs. Despite these hurdles, the return to school represents a fragile recovery of childhood for these children.
