He describes the classrooms as follows: "Colored posters, white arrows and paper Palestinian flags were hung inside the tent. In schools where clothes, blankets with flowers and small pillows are placed on the floor, bags are scattered because there is no space."
They would turn their eyes to the big blackboard and repeat the words of the teacher, Oula Al Ghoul. At this moment, the sound of Israeli drones is ringing overhead - this situation has been going on for 11 months. What a horror..
It is noteworthy that parents are very attentive to their children's studies, they see their salvation in life from them, they often ask about their children's written and oral literacy.

Some have been waiting in line for hours for food aid as supplies run out due to the Israeli siege.
