Israel's war on Gaza in retaliation for the October 7th attacks has wiped out the living conditions of Gazans. Almost all 564 schools have been destroyed, as have the 12 universities that housed 90,000 students. Deprived of facilities and subjected to extremely precarious living conditions, students and teachers are nevertheless showing their determination to continue their mission. What solutions can be implemented in a devastated and still dangerous environment? Testimonies from Gazans and international leaders will evoke the difficulties and future plans for Gaza.
