Gaza's 'Lost Generation' Misses Two Years of Schooling Amid War

The war in Gaza has triggered a severe educational crisis, with over 650,000 students having virtually no access to schooling for nearly two years. Since October 2023, classes have been suspended and most schools have become shelters for displaced families. The UN estimates nearly 90% of school buildings will require substantial reconstruction. The disruption has created a "lost generation" of young Palestinians missing out on basic and advanced education, with profound long-term consequences.
