US nongovernmental organisation, Scholars Without Borders, has established a makeshift academic space in southern Gaza called "University City" designed to bring students back into lecture halls. The site was built from wood, metal sheets, and materials that could be sourced locally. It includes internet access powered by solar panels, green areas, and a small business incubator. Despite the difficulties, the mission is to bring education closer to students in a better environment. University City operates on a rotating weekly schedule, with each day allocated to a different academic institution each day. This system allows multiple institutions to share the limited space, ensuring the widest possible access for students. Despite this, many universities have been destroyed or destroyed since Israel began its genocidal war in October 2023.
