- The United Nations Children's Fund reports that 98% of schools in Gaza were destroyed or damaged during the war, prompting officials to establish temporary learning centers using tents and tarpaulins.
- Stationery trader Khaled Aliyan noted notebook prices surged from 3 shekels to 15 shekels due to import restrictions, while 15-year-old Samar Abu Salmi said she is "pursuing our dream" despite lacking supplies.
- At least 540,000 students are expected to attend classes this year in temporary facilities, which Ibrahim Ramadan, director of education for East Khan Younis, describes as a "fragile milestone."
