He would eat breakfast, put on his uniform, and head out feeling happy and full of energy. Now, things are very different. Yazied can no longer attend school. Instead, he goes to a UNICEF temporary learning space in Deir al Balah every other day. All UNICEF learning spaces have long waitlists. Like many children in Gaza, he told UNICEF that he longs for his school to be as it once was. On the days he cannot attend, Yazied helps his family with their daily struggle to survive, fetching water and food from a community kitchen.
