With 80 percent of schools destroyed, students in Gaza have lost a year of education and are on the brink of losing another.
It is a back-to-school week in the Middle East, except for Palestinian students in the Gaza Strip. Their classrooms are in ruins or have become shelters for the displaced. Their backpacks used to be filled with books but now carry the little they have left.
