A call for global actions on academic justice in Gaza

Abstract

For decades, Israeli occupation and political instability in Gaza have devastated the social system of Palestinians, severely disrupting health, education and research (1). Since 7 October 2023, Gazas situation has worsened. Numerous scholars and organisations, including humanitarian and human rights groups, have condemned the violence, emphasising the devastating impact on civilians, especially women and children. [...]efforts by the scientific community have failed to translate into any meaningful influence including a ceasefire. [...]bridging the global north and south divide is vital through collaborations among universities, scientific associations and non-government institutions to ensure that underrepresented voices are heard.
