She is a girl from Gaza StripShe almost leaves the childhood cocoon and shaved a spider in the garden of life as you dream of any child of her life, and goes towards the university, to study the specialization that you have always loved, and the dream of most of the children of Gaza is to become doctors, how they do not see life except blood, tragedies and the pivotal role played by those with white jackets in a besieged, devastating, destroyed sector.
Her name is Iman, and it was supposed to go these days to pass the Tawjihi exam (high school) with the rest of its peers in Gaza, from the generation that reached this stage of the study, which sees it as a lucky generation not because it passed all stages of the study and reached the direction, but rather it remained alive.
Iman tells Al -Jazeera Net that her dream was to wake up the morning of the exam, wear the school dress, prepare her pens, carry her identity card and go to her educational institution, with her friends, fear of exam questions, and exam conditions, fill their hearts.
A simple dream
And they try to overcome these concerns by reminding themselves that they have worked in studying and reviewing the lessons from the first day of the study, and that God will undoubtedly open their eyesight and insight in front of those white papers that usually terrorize students, especially the diligent perseverance.
A simple dream that seems normal for all students of the world, except in Gaza, as Israel – and everyone who supports it – decided to be an impossible dream, as the war of genocide has not stopped since October 2023.
In Gaza alone, the Tawjihi student will be martyred before he can read the first question of the exam.
There is a few kilometers away, in Occupied West Bank، And occupied JerusalemOn Saturday, high school exams began, and the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education revealed that 52 thousand students pass the exams, of whom 50 thousand are inside the West Bank and Jerusalem, and 2000 distributed over 37 countries.
In Gaza, the number of students who were deprived of passing the high school exam since October 2023, about 78,000, more than 39,000 of them only last year, according to official figures.
As for the number of students who were not able to continue their dream of the end of the extermination war and the passing of Tawjihi, and they were martyred in the massacres of the occupation army continuous in the besieged sector, it has yet reached about 4 thousand students, who were supposed to wake up the morning of the exam and fear that fill their hearts while they are heading towards schools to pass the guidance, then receive question papers and provide their answers.
The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education increases that more than 15 thousand and 379 students of Gaza schools were martyred in the continuous extermination war, while the number of wounded and infiltrated parties is about 24 thousand, knowing that the death toll and wounded rise daily.
According to the Ministry’s data itself, the number of martyrs from Gaza university students almost reaches two thousand, while the number of wounded people suffering from various injuries – many of which are dangerous – reaches about 2,500 injured.
The story of numbers
And because missiles Israeli occupation army Do not differentiate between a student or an administrative official, because the number of martyrs from the educational and administrative frameworks in the Gaza Strip reached 701, compared to 4 martyrs in the West Bank, while the wounded, the number in the Strip to 3015, and in the West Bank 21.
Until the limits of Tuesday noon, the number of martyrs of the besieged sector, according to official Palestinian figures, reached 56 thousand and 991 martyrs, and the wounded reached 138 thousand and 259 wounded, and the detainees numbered 18 thousand and 700, and the displaced people were about two million.
And only in Gaza, it is necessary to refer to the exact date when talking about the numbers. The numbers that seem fixed in the regions of the world are always variable in the besieged sector, and because of the continuous bombing and massacres, the death toll rise every hour.
Even regardless of this, these numbers do not reflect all the truth, as thousands of martyrs are still, young and old, men and women, under the rubble of the destroyed Gaza buildings, there are no mechanisms to raise the rubble and extract the martyrs, but rather that the occupation and its missiles are waiting for all those who approach the destroyed buildings, and target everyone who moves to rescue.
Schools and educational institutions -even those affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (did not know (UNRWA)- A better fate than the government schools of Gaza, and the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics states that the number of schools and universities destroyed in Gaza reached 143, while the number of schools and universities partially destroyed 366.
The image does not appear cheerful in the occupied West Bank, and the competent Palestinian Ministry confirms that the number of martyrs from students reached 103, the wounded 691, and the detainees 361.
In the Gaza Strip, the world believes that the demolition of hospitals, homes, educational institutions, mosques and churches is normal “within the framework of Israel’s right to defend itself”, just as it believes that the dreams of Gaza’s daughters and their sons are also normal, and always in the context of The right to defense.
As for Iman, she assures Al -Jazeera Net, crying that her hope – and her peers – is suspended that she will pass the Tawjihi exam one day, although what happened will never be forgotten.
Difficult exam
In a time before before the outbreak of the extermination, the day of the results of the results appeared a witnessed day in the besieged sector, as happiness is immersed not only the house of the successful, but the entire neighborhood, where the neighbors flock to the successful house of the parents, and share the overwhelming joy that they have always waited on the hottest of embers.
Even the deposits were finding those who were having to them, and people were comforting each other.
Today, there are no guidance exams, no results, no success, no failure, and people forget each other for the loss of the whole family, in the massacre that was committed here or there, and there is a rejoice for each other if one of them finds a flour bag, or their family returned from the aid distribution center alive and escaped from the occupier’s bullets or by run over the feet of the fugitives.
Iman says and tears are taking place from its domestics: “The paper, pen and exam may be time with the end of the war next year, or the next year, or the next, but my heart that was broken today with the start of the Tawjihi exams, will it be forced one day?”
Fouad Iman and her peers alone, who was broken, are not the hearts of everyone who threw hearing while he is a martyr followed by the pain of the war of extermination of Gaza and its daily tragedies, and a witness to the failure of world leaders in a simple exam is the test of humanity.
