The weak glow of a phone screen flickers under the last rays of sunlight, as Sharaf Odeh hurries to download lectures before the solar power fades. In his family’s crowded apartment in western Gaza City, with restless children around him and the thud of shelling in the distance, the 26-year-old bends over his device, straining to hold on to a fragile internet signal. He is not scrolling social media or checking on relatives – he is logging into an online classroom, determined to finish his master’s degree in Digital Business Administration.
