The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that about 300,000 children in Gaza are deprived of education due to the war waged by the Israeli occupation on the Strip.

The agency's commissioner general, Philippe Lazzarini, said that about 50 of the agency's buildings, including schools, were damaged due to the war.

The UN official explained: “Our schools have now become shelters, and the students are asking for a drink of water and a loaf of bread. The longer the children stay out of school, the more difficult it is to continue their lessons.”

Lazzarini reported on the “X” platform that 92 UN agency employees have been killed so far during the war.

Since the start of the Israeli aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip on the 7th of last October, 10,515  have been died in the Gaza Strip, including 4,324 children, 2,823 women, and 649 elderly people, while the number of missing people reached about 2,550 citizens, including more than 1,350 children.
