Students in Gaza return to in-person classes for the first time in about three years. The return follows years of disruption caused by conflict and other restrictions that kept schooling largely remote or halted.
UNICEF says 98% of schools in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged during the war, indicating the scale of obstacles to restoring education. Multiple outlets report the same figure, highlighting that the reopening effort comes amid widespread physical damage and ongoing recovery needs.
Some coverage emphasizes the symbolic moment of returning to classrooms, including how students and families view the change, while other reports focus more directly on the destruction statistics underpinning why the return is notable. Together, the articles present both the immediate development of in-person schooling and the broader context of near-total harm to the school system during the war.
