FPH-Gaza branch has resumed the educational process and successfully held its first in-person exam.

The Faculty of Public Health - Gaza branch of Al-Quds University conducted the in-person Biostatistics exam at our temporary rented site, following the destruction of our previous building. This marks the first on-campus exam since the outbreak of the war on the Gaza Strip, reflecting our determination to sustain education and revive face-to-face learning despite ongoing challenges. The exam was supervised by Professor Bassam Abu Hamad, Director General of Programs at the Gaza Branch, with close follow-up from both academic and administrative staff. The session was marked by a high level of organization and commitment, while carefully considering the exceptional circumstances that our students are facing. Professor Abu Hamad emphasized that the return to in-person examinations represents an important milestone in the faculty's academic journey. He described it as a message of hope and resilience, reaffirming the continuation of the academic mission and our commitment to serving students. He also expressed appreciation for the dedication of the staff and the cooperation of the students in making this day a success. On the occasion of the first day of in-person classes, the faculty warmly welcomed students back, reiterating the University's commitment to providing a supportive and motivating learning environment.
