Gaza's Ministry of Education announced on Tuesday that "Israel's" ongoing genocidal campaign since October 2023 has left a devastating toll on students, teachers, and educational infrastructure across the region.

According to the ministry, at least 11,852 students in Gaza have been killed, with 18,959 more injured since the war began in October 2023. In the West Bank, 114 students have reportedly been killed, while hundreds have been wounded.

Educational facilities have been heavily targeted, with 362 government schools and universities in Gaza damaged or destroyed, along with 65 facilities managed by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

The war has also affected over 560 teachers and administrators, many of whom have been killed, injured, or detained.

The widespread destruction has left 718,000 students unable to attend school, many of whom are now suffering from trauma and health complications due to the ongoing aggression.

Four in five schools hit directly

UNRWA has reported that nearly 80% of Gaza's educational buildings have been damaged, with four out of every five schools hit directly.
