In a statement issued on Tuesday, the ministry explained that more than 11,946 students have been killed and 18,858 injured in Gaza since the start of the aggression, while 115 students have been killed and 609 injured in the West Bank. Additionally, 466 students have been abducted.
The ministry added that 564 teachers and administrative staff have been killed and 3,729 injured in Gaza and the West Bank, with more than 153 detained in the West Bank.

In the West Bank, 126 schools have been bombed and vandalized, 77 destroyed entirely, and 91 schools and seven universities have been raided and vandalized.
The ministry emphasized that 788,000 students in Gaza are still unable to attend their schools and universities since the beginning of the aggression, with most students suffering from psychological trauma and facing difficult health conditions.
