Students in Gaza faced violence instead of education as war disrupted their lives, transforming their world from hope and dreams to rubble and destruction. The last day of normal school was October 5, 2023, marking a profound change from lectures and friendships to coping with the horror of conflict. Teachers inspired students with profound lessons, but now, the streets and schools lie in ruins. The author reflects on the yearning for normalcy, contrasting past peaceful mornings with the sound of bombs, illustrating the tragic impact of the genocide on youth and future generations.
Before the war, students in Gaza were surrounded by books, not bombs... focused on building a future, working hard to shape a better life for themselves and their homeland.
The last day students attended school was Thursday, 5 October 2023... a tragic dividing line between normalcy and chaos, between life and death.
On the night of 6 October, I couldn't sleep, and I didn't know why... I wish I could go to sleep and wake up to go to my university.
Thousands of students have been killed by the occupation in a brutal, ongoing genocide that has shattered souls, destroyed homes.
