8:34 pm
if we stop touring or stories, if we stop listening to or parents, as we create space, we create vacuum for us as talk you by this virtual space in our past in our heart, literally it was killed in this radio strike in december, he attended the islamic university of garza, that was destroyed in the strike last year libraries. electra the says the once facilitates his student streams. and now just remnants of all. this was history, university, a multitude hop where engineering little and finance would taught to thousands of students. it's one of all 12 universities that have been destroyed among the streets that are no longer recognizable like twisted muscle and piles of concrete and children. clutching pens and paper plus, succeeding, use intense provides those security. the assistance of the children have gone to loud reflects the resilience and the hope that them will be back to future the
8:35 pm
reality they live in your home. it's like story out to 0. the, let's bring in august because a lot of find out has an english teacher of the university college of applied sciences. he was awarded a place at the university in the u. k, but couldn't please because of the will on garza and los angeles to a bus to a new house from gaza to bala electronics lead engineer who worked on the in general with 2 malls, had a couple of team would not side you bill and was educated in this trip and don't have, i haven't done that will, is the co founder of we are not numbers. it policy is let non profit project inc as a welcome to the program, gentleman aroma. do you have any idea of use the, the suit as us to the live or constantly on the move from a shelter to another?
8:36 pm
thank you for having me for us. and uh, actually we, uh, we have been recently and start to take launching on that. let's see, online teaching us across the world, i get some positive, can do this as a condo, slash, and just find the are the challenges and the click options where are facing the space from an extra so can from that play is still showing the occasion there is no, it's really, really hard to find a precise indication. and when that equates that also many of my students and sadly, where accounts during the genocide and we're talking nonsense, we're talking about more than 600000 students who are deprived from the indication from the right to 50 cation. it's old as a whole generation actually and, and my university itself, but it's not me going to persist in half being deprived, but also it's, i'm continuing my master's degree,
8:37 pm
the 5 to may here. so it listed in dc was my supervisor. and in my, i'm a thesis, but i had company who was murdered and, and i am not able to continue my education and to get our living and carry insight into silence or other students. so i was sitting back, bachelors and stuff. it's not just our challenge from the, the features a side, but the title events. so also students, the students are not able to find a place to find the case. internet is read as fast. you can find that good of websites for internet. i know you're not talking about just browsing it's, it's uh you need to watch videos and into the mixtures. you need to have exams. so it's all a 6 and sick on us way. which is really difficult that many students are trying to numbers get phase and go to that phase and they are, there are some internet points, industries. they've tried to connect with that and it's really,
8:38 pm
really weak and connected sections. so this titles and we're talking about the connection and there's a problem with the place you can find this way is most students are going to try to move the miles the place to find the transfer site from there. and okay. like it could be, this is one of those moments where the top priority for students in guys just to fetch water food and help the parents of the biggest concern is the own survival. could just tell you your feelings with us when you see those pictures of children walking between the rob along the street. so because i mean city is very sad to the level, i mean how, how bad, you know, like less daunting garza, i mean, so it's a constantly mascot every day. and, you know, like there is no safe place. you know, i mean, you see a lot of these students, you know, try and allow me a lot of kids, you know, like you just trying to update their, you know, just securing water. i mean, i talked a lot of my cousins there. i mean, i honestly like i decrease and become
8:39 pm
a secondary thing. i mean most, most cool i went to, i mean, i don't know if there is any of them actually still intact? i mean, every single one had been bombed in a. so, i mean, but, and the same time, you know, i mean i, i see kids actually simply liked about a couple of weeks ago. i got a call from one of the people. one of the professors from department of education were actually was trying to coordinate a talk. it was looking at of teaching at class in may not attend. so i mean, you know, seeing these kids still like have whole, you know, trying to be educated. you know, they weren't even still able to laugh. i mean, that's giving you a lot of hope. i mean, i don't think anybody, i mean is there a m o is targeted educational system and palestine. i mean, in gaza even doing, doing the, you know, the civil administration of god though. i mean they're like many times or causing our, our schools for any reason. they just like make an excuse on this school we because for months of the time. yeah. so a lot of time we have to actually study at home, you know, we have to like, you know,
8:40 pm
i mean people like all. ready that you can themselves, you know, so i mean that, that, that will never stop. so i mean the deal with all those we hope and, you know, no matter how many school they take down, we're just, we will rebuild them. how much do you see the relentless bombardment of schools and universities as a policy to take away that spirit of resilience among the palestinians, but particularly in gaza, i believe yes, of course, as right. and since the beginning of this war, and even before this war is right and took it up on things themselves to destroy the economy of gauze or the education cause of the spirit of the people in gauze. and even we have to set to, to talk about this even before this genocide distorted as are and has a policy to make it cleansing. and that was spank. and the 1st thing that would do in order to evacuate the village that would destroy the, the, the primary school in that, in that village. and then they would force people to go out of all of their homes and lands. but this is a policy of ethnic extends and this is
8:41 pm
a policy of genocide that those way to practice when the people didn't garza and this are a knows that the people of guys i care a lot about education. we are the most highly educated people in the middle east and we care a lot about education so as well destroys the, the institution of the education institutions in gaza because they wanted to make it impossible to, to the people have gone by that have. so that they eventually leave. so this is a part of the ethnic cleansing policies. that is what it is it practicing when the people have cause a lot of cause it has measured, it is calculated, it does. okay, tensional, almost could you tell us what's all your options next? are you thinking about to inventing new ways so that you can reach out to your students and to help them navigate this particular? yeah, well actually i'm doing my best. i have a decent continued connection in my account and we are trying to do this. the most that you can do is to have the extra bears and inquiries as to that,
8:42 pm
not facing any process. so we are leveraging some of the classrooms so, so don't send their inquiries and if they have any questions or anything they can put that me by number or they can uh, uh, email anything. so it's not just on my individual side. i do my best to help, but it's really, it's, it's, it's, it's out of my and because i'm also on a student, and i'm doing my best to help because i'm having this problem. so the best way i can do is to tragic if they have any problem to contact me to do anything. uh, but i'm thinking about that as you're talking about it. this is a deliberate act of action. and i'm, and a big part of the genocide, actually targeting the candid megs and, and the students. it's about 3673000000 students weren't killed during the genocide
8:43 pm
that they are tied up to the type of thing. but for the university education of the facilities like days, let me get the rest of the other diversity of mine university as well. the place where i'm working is fully demolished, what they are not just targeting anything they did the deliberate thing doing that . um okay. i, i believe that the dictation is a source of these and it's a way of both resistance stall. so the kinds of minds that knows that when, when this, when this community or this country or will it dictated, they will resist that were understaffed. but this, this week, if we stopped press them and then we, we went to nice and mentally and physically, they're indeed the best they be trying their best to, not just plus down in terms of actually, okay and destruction. but also we're trying to do it as mentally. okay. like you said, you're helpful. uh. got those with tap into that spirit of resilience and continue despite all the odds. but the ministry of education, the policy,
8:44 pm
administrative education, nice thing about 9 to older schools. i shot in garza 90 percent, completely destroyed. how do you see the educational system built in the near future in gaza to i mean to the end of the school system or, you know, when i went to school, i mean, i remember my 1st grade. i mean, we're an attend, you know, mean because our class was being pre built and then it was cool at the time. so, i mean, that did not stop us. i mean, we still have teachers, we still have students. that's the only thing you need somebody who really wants to be who want to be educated and i think you cannot kill desperate schools are just a place they just a tool. but the, you know, i mean, the most important actually was the students and the spirit. so, i mean, once we get, once we can stop this genocide, i mean, there will be a lot of opportunities to grow. i mean, you know, i think that education would continue window for about there was schools, i mean, you know, i mean schools in, on the past, i mean there were just probably 10 seen a good deal. people can just study and attend to,
8:45 pm
could people study on their own. you know, you cannot really stop despair of the somebody who are the one, the lar, lar, and i know. ready on better themselves. so, and i think that's what we do have. i mean, everything else is just a tool that will assist us the further, you know, we can concept to the end of suppression. you know, to me been like, you know, like even this across our voices educated palestinian to just because they don't really like but work to see examples of like successful products. thinking about 625000 because already but just said likely to miss the the school for the next 2nd to another. 58006. you those who have registered for the 1st time for that 1st grade we're talking about some logistical might not even if the international community is willing to commit cash on all the means to model to try to put together a smooth year for students in gaza. is it likely to happen? this is workable. i think the situation is more dangerous than this. this imagine
8:46 pm
that today the war ends. let's imagine that today is the genocide and what about the mental health of the people in cars? and what about the minutes of the students in casa? we already know that before the genocide in gaza over 80 or 90 percent of the students in going to suffer from psychological and mental and this order. now after everything that they have been. and so during the past year, how do you think this all students will be able to go to school to study, to get themselves educated with. this is a huge problem, but i have all the, the old, the, the faith and the world in the policy. and people, i know that we, we continue to start to continue to go to schools where there, where they were tense or not. but i mean, right now we need to have this genocide and we need to stop this war. and then after that we will need a lot of support we, we need to look at help from organizations, from schools, from government, so that we can, we have been to the education system and goes on not briefly. if you don't mind the owner, what has lost the back to learning program in a 45 of these shelters,
8:47 pm
but basically have the 2 children, the teacher sitting with the, with the students trying to set up games, drama, off music and different sports activities for them just to get us assembly. and so what should be a normal time of vibrant, the school vibe? is this something that you that could be expanded across? because i do see that happening across the goes the upcoming weeks. that's to live in the upcoming weeks. really? it's really, really hard and because most of the schools, the schools are being used as shows that the district people and they are not even ready to go back when they take this phone, people out in order to start the education system. it's really all. but what i'm thinking, what i'm seeing actually is somebody going to is ations, like, uh, like i think i'm gonna say the same to children in organizations. they're trying to make something to, to, in each candid funds other than our camp it's, it's not that they're going to, there's,
8:48 pm
and it's all right. it should initiate that. we have a tent, we try to educate and it was to teach the people adult children in the cab. the way we can because induce children on a specific, in the primary levels. the are a need for adult to be the game because their mind is not one of the stablish that they need to keep being that there might need to be active all the time. and it can, we can take, you know, of them. so we're trying to help them to teach them to attend school, but the way we can. and so i'm going to this uh, supporting that they have doing things in the camps. i'm teaching children is specifically in the primary levels. and that, that's the most thing they are able to do about $420.00 s schools. i'm not seeing this is the easy sweetheart. but if the genocide ends there will be a solution for the school. so it's all about yes. and to the watering cause i know you've been talking time and again about education has been
8:49 pm
a source of fight. i'm always a part of city is particularly in gaza. you were born and does that. you were educated that you moved to the united states of america, you became an engineer. then you helped me. the mos helicopter ingenuity program was complete. the 72 hours historic flight becoming the 1st craft to achieve a public control flight on another planet is phenomenal by the by i, i young side who comes from a place like goes about, do you have any concerns about, despite all the optimism, you still think about we could end up not with the last generation for many, many years to come. i mean, you know, we, that's not the last time, you know, so, i mean, i, i think, you know, i mean, i don't know if it was say. ready lots generation, i mean, you know, i mean every, i mean it's pretty sad. you know, i mean what's happening. i mean, it's really depressing, honestly, but in the same times, like, i don't know if we've lost a generation. i mean, we lost a year or 2. i mean, you know, i mean, i use my father for example, he had to because of the ninety's because the southern war school was cancelled for
8:50 pm
a year. and his exam was canceled when he had these been 2 years before he was able to go to medical school. so, you know, in the, i mean, we didn't really lose that generation. you know, so, i mean, you know, just simply look at the pass. i mean, in 1948. the same thing happened. uh, you know, but the leader, you know, that's, that just made us more stronger to continue to prove that we are working in other but to be like the like making the words the nice where we are. but a good, nice little work we have provide the word in the dictation and the knowledge, which is, i mean, in palestine in history. i mean it's always been a source of knowledge. i mean, i, no matter what happens, we all was going to be built. i mean, yes, there was a lot of trauma. i expect the students, you know, i mean, i'll say a lot of people by you look at this point, body helpless, you know, but i think, i think will overcome that. i think the biggest thing it would be like how would this call this is i mean the assist america. ready attack here it's not only on a vacation is on the even, you know, like, you know, on the,
8:51 pm
i don't know why there's a lot of them. there's a lot of propaganda being spread the education of palestinians. you know what i mean directly by and at the end, you know, i mean it's like, which is, you know, but it's like, you know, there's a lot of it is just like and found it like execute. ready and you know, just part is partially like to leave the palestinian identity. you know, so i email it, but i don't, i don't think we would be able to succeed. i knew that and okay. i think i work our, our kids will have and what is the future whenever the be i dictated? they will find that was i do also have a story to share a lot 21 members of your family and if toby and also platform, we're not just number so people can share their own stories about the good in the plight of the people in guys obviously in the west, receptive to you, the content that you'll publish on the platform. thank you very much. i. i lost a 21 members of my family and up to about 2 of my sisters who were killed in that home, where teachers, 14 of my nieces and nephews who were killed,
8:52 pm
most of them would have to. but so go to school. and one of our co founder is if we have not numbers ones that are factored out, are you this a great, amazing and provenance professor they wasn't meant to us. he said that his last words, if i must die, you must live to tell my story. so we are living right now, those 2 of us will survive this massacre, which divided this genocide. we are living to the source of the world. now when we had enough numbers we, we chose, we decided to write the order stories in english for the, with an audiences. because we know how to manage the media. and that was had failed, the processing and people, they have the one eyes and did you want is the processing and people we are trying to go. we're stories ourselves because we want to get our set of x. expose to that with an audience. as of course, there is a lot of reception in the west, especially because the people in the was no more than ever realize how they were deceived by their informed media, how they were blinded by their own media. so there is a lot of reception that were receiving and there was a lot of people reading go with stories for the 1st time, the reading,
8:53 pm
and they're changing their perception about you and not numbers both to the people in god because they're reading stories for sound from the victims of human rights violations and goals have different angles to tell but with the gentleman, so if it can be a briefing your answer, i would really appreciate all my weight. virtual schools be the practical best alternative now are now the most. busy practical way to keep the a is that where the patient, the system is using the online staging, but they do sleep somehow and possible to do. and that's the kind of staging which is like our life insurance. something where we are leveraging it. also kronos way of teaching and a student we have, we give students time, we give them like hate in bed liners and like we give them some of the huge variables to do with the deadlines, the rest of work and the 3rd to supplement their exams. because we know that they are not able, it's hard,
8:54 pm
but it is challenging. and sometimes sometimes students have to move like miles in order to get to the place and it's not limited for uh, for the dictations. and for us teachers, uh some, some, some places like house, if you didn't know that, like one comes in and, but we have ones, we can go that on. but it's also it's, it's what's available. but it's hard. but the time being to leave the people, sorry, it's a, it's a quick fix for the time being. yes. but i believe that if we back to our uh, s and sisters go back on grandfathers. oh it was fluid displaced in 1948. uh, they started from where they started from fedex. they spent some very basic things, is that the solution is not okay. let's not talk to start the education system. it's just a mentality. and it's, it's a prophecy to keep this impressed as invested to be generation. have agent or
8:55 pm
vision comes that if it's can give it to the other generation that it's like a prophecy. so we need to try to get to keep the cycle going on, going to as much as we can. the u. n. agencies are facing a problem. she's basically, they've been asking for donations to be able to put together the education system, particularly in does that in the near future when the war is over. as you know, the donors are not really excited about the potential of injecting more cash into education because they say they have other priorities, food, a hospitals and so on and so forth. what could be the, the best scenario? what should the, by the city is do or neighboring countries, olives in particular, wealthy nations to try to help the policy is when it comes to building educational system of the future. yeah, i mean that's what i was like talking to like the big, you know, systematic the look back on the nice ation like 4 or number one which is like, bring in a lot of the funding and then you destroy, i guess the majority, the majority of the infrastructure, so now you know,
8:56 pm
they already are struggling with budget before this, you know, especially with some country that reducing the budget. so i mean the, and so like that, that would be a big wouldn't be like a big film. but for some problem in terms of like funding and the priority of the funding, because now it's like, you know, like, going to become like the healthcare education. and that kind of education probably becomes a category because you know, he's assigned to make people so live and give them fluid. so a lot of data is going that way. so i mean the, we, we've been on the know need to be like more, you know, like to help, you know, what are you build a lot of the schools. so they're going to need to be a lot more funding, you know, to another law or to other organization to allow a, to allow the tools to be able to make it more accessible for every single single single person to be actually be able to get education and that's what would be the best way to prevent a 2nd to you without access to school for people in cause, even if the war continues the will has to and we can't allow this,
8:57 pm
continue this to continue. we can't allow the should the site to continue for more than a year? enough is enough. i think it is time that everyone, every single person, every single organization or, or the government, they have to come and agree that this war has to end. and when this war ends, that has to be a lot of work done in gaza, we need the support us palestinians alone in gauze. also this genocide, i don't think we have enough capacity to revive rehabilitate the educational system . we need to look at it from the organizations and jo's and human rights organizations. we need the fed up with the sort of resources with the funding and, but also and most importantly, we need to have this war and, and we need to make sure that no more genocides happen to the person and people the most i listen to a, the best you need to know, i really appreciate your time. the stories value chat with us. we are definitely going to resonate among the young children in cause
8:58 pm
a desperate to go back to school despite the video on the less bombardment of the massive loss of life. thank you. i thank you to for watching who can see the program again, any time by visiting our website. i just see it. i'm not going for further discussion. go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha, inside story. you can also join the conversation on x l and that is at a j inside started for me, hash him out about on the entire team here in doha bye for now, the a seminary communist and a to windshield egyptian artist choosing cuba. anything except for political stance, which is 0 really tells the story of n g a splits are her politics and her concern for egypt, pores, people fighting,
