'We cried instead of celebrating': War and loss shadow Gaza's top students

The article highlights the emotional and logistical challenges faced by Palestinian students in Gaza amid ongoing conflict. The General Secondary Education Certificate (Tawjihi), typically a celebrated milestone, has become a symbol of survival rather than academic success due to the prolonged humanitarian crisis.

Her personal tragedy—the death of her father in an Israeli airstrike—adds a deeply human dimension to the broader issue of education under siege. Students face extreme hardships, including scarce learning materials, unreliable utilities, and constant displacement. Despite these obstacles, many continue to pursue their dreams, driven by familial hopes and a desire for normalcy.
