GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The siege surrounding Gaza has affected hundreds of university students. Some who are studying in universities outside of the Strip have been unable to enroll for the new semester because of the closure of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, as reported by Al-Monitor. There is also another group of students in Gaza who, due to the deteriorating economic conditions, cannot afford fees for local universities.
The increased siege on the Strip and its institutions — particularly academic ones — has pushed some universities to take steps requiring students to register for a full schedule and to pay all fees without loans or scholarships.
