The Ministry had sent a message to international institutions calling on them to assist and integrate and to hold activities on this International Day of Solidarity with the Gaza St
rip.

On the other hand, students in all schools in the West Bank will beat drums at eight in the morning, simultaneously with other schools in different regions of the world, with the same effect, in reference to what education is going through in the Gaza Strip.
