Two sisters connect online to a West Bank school from Cairo. A professor in Germany helps Palestinian students link up with European universities.
Gaza and the occupied West Bank have internationally high literacy levels, but Israel's blockade of the coastal Palestinian enclave and repeated rounds of conflict left education fragile and under-resourced. Azoum is volunteering at Al Aqsa hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah to help stretched staff deal with waves of patients, but also because she doesn't want to"lose the connection with science".
"We are ready to give in any way, but much better inside Gaza than outside. Because don't forget that we are doctors and we are working," Hadad said.Tens of thousands of Gazans who crossed to Egypt also face challenges. Though living in relative safety, they lack the papers to enrol their children in schools, so some have signed up for remote learning offered from the West Bank, where Palestinians have limited self-rule under Israeli military occupation.
In southern Gaza, where more than a million people were displaced, U.N. children's agency UNICEF has been organising recreational activities like singing and dancing with some basic learning. It is planning to create 50 tents where 6,000 children will be able to take classes in three daily shifts.
