A Gazan Education

The author, a recent high school graduate, has won a scholarship to study medicine in Germany, but the Israeli authorities refuse to allow him to leave the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of Gazan students are in the same position, without any prospect of furthering their education in poor, overcrowded universities at home and denied the opportunity to study abroad.

GAZA – This was supposed to be my first year of medical school. Instead, I am stuck here in Gaza, in my father’s house inside the Jabalia refugee camp, with few options and no way out. After I finished high school last year, I decided to become a doctor. Gaza cries out for bone specialists, but the training I need is available only abroad.
