After years of blockade, pandemic, and war, Gaza’s children have lost more than three years of education. Schools and universities have been destroyed. Books are gone. Teachers are deceased or displaced. Today, many children ages 6–11 cannot read or write. Beyond lost learning, children are suffering from:
• Severe anxiety and trauma
• Aggression, fear, and withdrawal
• A loss of hope for the future
Children are no longer just children—they are struggling to survive.
The Ru.Gaza Education Tent is a grassroots initiative founded by Ruwaida Kamal Amer, an experienced teacher and child-focused educator who miraculously survived the war. Ruwaida’s Education Tent will offer a safe learning and healing space for children who have lost everything.
