Behind the headlines are facts.
Millions displaced. Children. Years of waiting.

Behind every number - a life on hold.
We can do better.

“The destruction Israel has inflicted on the university’s buildings is beyond imagination, Wishah said, leaving the university without many of its essential facilities.”

“Even though the teaching staff is excellent,” Wishah said, “they cannot make up for the loss: There is no library to study in, no common areas or cafeterias to foster relationships among peers.””

On 30 November 2025, I attended my first university lecture at the Islamic University of Gaza.

The lecture should have taken place at the university’s main campus in Gaza City, but since the Israeli army has largely reduced it to rubble, the university rented a wedding venue in Nuseirat to serve as a makeshift lecture hall.

The university has also rented another wedding venue in Khan Younis and repaired the less damaged buildings in its Gaza City campus to maintain as much as possible the educational process on campus, though only for first-year students enrolled in a handful of specializations, including various branches of engineering.
I walked to the Nuseirat wedding venue, as it is the closest to my home, and arrived at the hall 10 minutes late, something I regretted. I found around 300 students – all engineering students from 14 different fields, including mechanical, electrical and industrial engineering – crammed into the space.

Long rows of white plastic chairs were packed so tightly that one had to walk sideways to pass between them.

The number of chairs was fewer than the number of students, and many of the students were forced to sit on the raised platform usually reserved for the bride and groom, balancing their notebooks on their laps.

There were no desks, no proper educational tools – just a projector screen and a professor delivering his lecture without the basic elements that make understanding possible.

Not only would a limited number of courses be taught on-site – such as calculus and physics for engineering students – but the hall was also allocated to female students from 9 am to 12 pm, and to male students from 12 pm to 4 pm, schedules that were delivered to students through WhatsApp groups.

Hundreds of African men — including over 1,000 Kenyans — were reportedly lured to Russia with promises of high-paying civilian jobs and citizenship, only to be sent to fight in the war after weeks of training.

Many faced racial abuse, some were killed, and others are now prisoners of war in Ukraine.
