Over the past two years, more than 20,000 students have been killed and over 31,000 injured in Gaza and the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education. The conflict has also resulted in the deaths of over 1,000 teachers and administrators, with thousands more wounded or arrested. Educational infrastructure has suffered extensive damage, with hundreds of schools and university buildings destroyed or damaged in Gaza, and several schools demolished in the West Bank. International organizations have raised serious concerns about the scale of destruction and loss of life, with some accusing Israeli authorities of genocide.
