Islamic University of Gaza is an independent academic institution located in Gaza. IUG is one of the biggest universities all over Palestine. More than 20.000 students study at the Islamic University. IUG is a member of four associations: International Association of Universities, Community of Mediterranean Universities, Association of Arab Universities and Association of Islamic Universities.
On 28th December, 2008, Israeli Planes targeted Islamic University of Gaza destroying completely Science and Engineering Buildings and causing partial damage to other buildings at IUG campus.
The two totally damaged buildings surely offer academic services for undergraduate and postgraduate students from Faculty of Medicine, Engineering and Science faculties as well as the community service that is related to checking water and soil.
Therefore, we call upon academics, local, regional and international higher educational and human rights institutions to have their role of prohibiting such crimes against academic institutions.
