Most universities in Gaza, like Al-Aqsa University, have been destroyed during the war. Professor Ahmed Junina and his student Aseel Alwan, whose home is still standing in northern Gaza, explain how students and teachers are working in a war zone. Junina also previously worked as a visiting professor at Laval University in Montreal.
Before beginning her lessons for the day, Aseel Alwan heads to the kitchen to make coffee, placing a kettle on an open flame to boil water that she pours into a mug with instant coffee.
