In Gaza, students are back in schoolÖbut are bearing the brunt of power cuts and shortages in learning materials. Sometimes sitting in the darkÖ sometimes in the coldÖ and trying to do their homework by candlelightÖ students in Gaza are falling behind and struggling to keep up their gradesÖ and the drop-out rate is rising. SOUNDBITE, Mohammed Jendeyyeh, 11 years old: ìWhen there is electricity, we understand our lessons, but when electricity is cut, our learning ability is reduced. At home, when doing homework, then we find electricity cut, so we have to use the candle, and nothing except the candle.
