Educational advocates and parents said the student project was an attempt to manipulate students with false information that did not merely distort the case but also sought to spread dangerous allusions about anti-war protesters demonstrating against Israel's war on Gaza.

Something that separates Ramadan from other times of the year is a change of routine. That includes waking up for suhoor, a pre-dawn meal which Muslims eat in preparation for fasting. Families, sometimes including children, rise together during the holy month to eat suhoor and perform Fajrdawn prayers. On Tuesday, hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza were killed by Israeli bombs in those early hours of suhoor. Some had been awake eating with their families.

The number always rises. And this time, it wouldn't stop...350...400...450.

For 23 years, Palestinian residents of Gaza, Rami and Abeer Arrouki, longed for a child, but have not been able to conceive. Amid the devastation of Israel's war on Gaza, as many children were left orphaned, the couple saw a calling - an opportunity to give love where it was lost and, in doing so, become the parents they had always hoped to be. Following Israel's onslaught on Gaza in October 2023, Rami, 47, began asking around to see if there was a child who had lost their parents.
