Every single student, scholar, and teacher in Gaza has been affected by the destruction of the education systems in Gaza. What can we do to help?  Hear from Palestinian scholars Nour Hamad, Ahmed Maher Alghazali, and Majd Almishharawi about what we can do to rebuild the education systems in Gaza.

In 2011, more than 12,000 children in Gaza flew kites on the beach, setting a new world record for most kites flown simultaneously. Devastatingly, more children have been killed in the first five months of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza than flew kites in 2011.

Mounting violence has created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where many have been displaced. More than two million people are cut off with no clean water, electricity, or other basic needs. 

Your emergency donation is urgently needed today to bring humanitarian relief and support ongoing efforts to stop the violence, address its root causes, and build conditions for peace.

The blockade has had a devastating impact on students of all ages in Gaza. Each year, thousands of college-age students are effectively barred from finishing their education because they are denied permission to leave Gaza to study in the West Bank or elsewhere.

Israel has controlled the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza for decades, but since the imposition of the blockade in 2006, restrictions have been severely tightened.

The Israeli-controlled Erez Crossing, located on the northern edge of the Israeli-built wall around Gaza, is the only crossing through which civilians can travel between Gaza and Israel. At the start of the Second Intifada, or Palestinian uprising, in 2000, around 26,000 people were allowed to leave Gaza each day via the Erez crossing.
