Pursuing a scientific career in the Palestinian territories has been fraught for decades. Then Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, igniting a war in the Gaza Strip that has lasted for more than a year.<\/p>\n

As Israel has bombed and invaded Gaza in a campaign to eliminate Hamas, schools have been destroyed<\/a> and students have had to continue their studies remotely or stop them altogether<\/a>. Physicians have worked in ever-worsening conditions<\/a>. And Palestinians outside the territory, too, have felt the effects.<\/p>\n
