Well, it's back to school season, and last night we brought you a report on Israeli children

displaced from their homes and schools by the war and violence.

But in Gaza, 625,000 children have no school to return to at all.

Most of Gaza's 560 schools have been damaged or destroyed.

More than half have been directly hit by Israeli forces who say schools have been

used as shelter by Hamas militants. As Nick Schifran reports with producer

Shams Ode in Gaza, the few remaining schools are now shelters for the displaced.

In Darabala and Central Gaza, the classroom is a tent.

Shah! shah!

Shah!

Shoo!

And the students displaced children of war.

Proud to contribute, eager to learn in a class rather than from the conflict they've been forced to endure.

We're trying to provide relief for children through education and play so they feel better mentally

Taha Ibrahim is an elementary school teacher himself displaced and a volunteer with a French sponsored program for kids.

As educators, we're trying to help students remember what they have learned

and at the same time try and cheer them up and relieve them from the pressure they're under despite ongoing bombing and displacement.

In a neighboring tent, 8-year-old triplets, Lana Batul and Lein Abu-ase with their younger sister Bisan have a message for the kids around the world starting school this week.

We're supposed to go to school. Everyone is going back to school except us in Gaza.

You're so lucky.

They've lost their home and been displaced multiple times,

but have held on to their dreams.
