According to Al Jazeera, libraries, schools, and homes in Gaza have been destroyed, making surviving books precious possessions. UNICEF data shows that approximately 98% of school buildings have been destroyed or damaged, leaving about 700,000 children unable to attend school normally. Local residents are working to repair and distribute books to help children resume learning. The price of white glue, essential for book repair, has surged from 30-35 shekels before the war to 450-500 shekels (approximately $146.74-$163.05) due to Israel's siege of Gaza and the destruction caused by the conflict.
