For two years, the so-called civilized world merely watched as murders were committed and a brutal genocide was carried out in Gaza.

In Gaza, 80% of schools—668 buildings—have been hit by Israeli bombardments.

165 schools, universities, and educational institutions were completely destroyed, and 392 others rendered unusable.

More than 13,500 students, over 830 teachers and staff, and 193 scientists and academics were killed by the occupying forces.
