Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, continues to draw attention to the importance of education, this time by advocating for Palestinian students. At a fundraising dinner at Oxford University, she unveiled a new scholarship program specifically aimed at supporting Palestinian students affected by the conflict.

Malala highlighted the dire situation in Gaza, where over 80 percent of schools and universities have been damaged or destroyed. She emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire and the reconstruction of educational infrastructure in the region.
