The Need

Education in Gaza and across Palestine has been severely disrupted. Universities, schools, and other learning facilities have been heavily damaged or destroyed. In Gaza, at least 22 of 38 higher education institutions were completely destroyed, and most campuses remain nonfunctional, with many institutions still struggling to resume operations.

Students have been displaced, while access to classrooms, faculty, electricity, and learning resources has been interrupted. For tens of thousands of students, the risk is not just a delay — it is the permanent loss of opportunity. Without sustained support, many are forced to abandon their studies, undermining years of effort and their future stability.

Education must not stop when circumstances are hardest.

What is ISNAD?

What Makes
ISNAD Different

ISNAD is built to protect educational continuity in the face of ongoing disruption. It:

  • Ensures multi-term enrollment rather than providing one-time aid.
  • Enables digital and alternative pathways when physical campuses cannot function.
  • Prioritizes completion so that disruption does not permanently derail a student's future.
  • Sustains the system by supporting faculty and universities so higher education can endure.

This approach ensures disruption does not permanently derail a student’s future.
