DEIR AL BALAH, GAZA - SEPTEMBER 3: Students and parents argue in the principals office to be placed in a class on the first day of school in Deir al Balah, Gaza on Sept. 3, 2012. A United Nations report issued last week questioned whether Gaza will be "a liveable place" in 2020, citing shortages of food, clean water, electricity, jobs, hospital beds and classrooms amid an exploding population in what is already one of the most densely populated patches of Earth. The shortage of schools is even more acute, with the report finding a shortage of 250 now and 190 more over the next eight years. (Ed Ou/Getty Images)
