As we wake up every day to the news of the deplorable situation in Gaza we’re bringing you one more time the expertise of Bill Van Esveld from Human Rights Watch. We focus predominantly on education as the estimates say it could take up to 14 years to rebuild it.

In this episode we also touch on the situation in the West Bank and how it could be a part of the solution, exploring ideas like using West Bank teachers or relocating Gaza children for their education. We dive into the importance of specialized training for both volunteers and Palestinian educators, especially in light of the trauma many children have endured.
