Sofyan Taya, president of the Islamic University of Gaza
Gaza City, December 6 (RHC)-- More than three-quarters of Gaza’s population is displaced, with some 2 million people forced into a 90-square-mile area in the south which Israel is actively bombing.
Among the dead is Sofyan Taya, president of the Islamic University of Gaza and a renowned researcher in physics and applied mathematics. Taya was killed along with his family in an Israeli airstrike Saturday in Jabaliya, just north of Gaza City.
Sofyan Taya was ranked among the top two percent of researchers globally and was appointed UNESCO chair for Physical and Astrophysical Sciences in Palestine.
