Stop the scholasticide!

SAIH stands in solidarity with the Islamic University and the wider higher education sector in Gaza.
The attack on Gaza’s higher education sector continues.
On Sunday October 25th, as students were attending classes at the Islamic University of Gaza, an Israeli drone strike hit the campus and injured five students. Seconds later another strike hit the university’s western entrance and killed three staff members.
According to UNESCO 95% of university campuses have been damaged or destroyed since October 2023. Earlier this year, Friends of Palestinian Universities published a major multidisciplinary report documenting the systematic destruction of Gaza’s higher education sector.
Despite the destruction and the continued attacks on higher education, universities in Gaza continue to offer education, students continue attending classes, whether online or in person, and academics continue to teach and research.
We stand in solidarity with the students and academics at the Islamic University of Gaza and across Gaza and support the calls for urgent international action for the protection of education.
