Schools Bombed, Students Adapt
In Gaza, 190 schools and 14 universities were completely destroyed by Israeli strikes in fewer than three weeks.

Students improvised by taking exams on the beach covered by makeshift canopies.

Al-Jazeera published emotional verses alongside the video: Gaza writes with blood, not with sand.
The destruction of 204 educational institutions was confirmed by reports cited by Al-Jazeera.
AI Videos Promote Gaza Relocation
The Israeli government and Trump launched coordinated AI-generated videos depicting Gaza as a rebuilt Riviera.
Actu.fr reported Trump's video showing children emerging from ruination to a beach with skyscrapers and a palace named Trump Gaza.

Le Figaro described Israel's Minister posting a similar AI video along with a voluntary immigration plan.
The plan sought to reframe forced displacement as humanitarian and voluntary.
Reconstruction Money Diverted to War
The ICFG announced more than $1 billion deposited to finance reconstruction projects.
“An Israeli minister shares an AI-generated video showing Gaza transformed into a 'Riviera'”
Israeli Defense Minister Gallant vetoed using any funds to rebuild schools or educational institutions.
The veto created a paradox where billions were locked away even as Israeli strikes destroyed more of Gaza each day.
Economic Collapse and Human Toll
Gaza's economy is reeling; 60% of the population faces acute hunger.
UNICEF reported damage affecting 80% of Gaza's WASH infrastructure.

Basic services like electricity and water have not been available for weeks.
The humanitarian disaster contrasts starkly with the AI-generated visions of a gleaming post-war Gaza.
