UNRWA: More than 625,000 children in Gaza were deprived of school for more than 8 months
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday that more than 625,000 children were deprived of school for more than 8 months as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The agency explained on the “X” platform that more than 625,000 children in Gaza have been out of school for more than 8 months, including 300,000 who were students in UNRWA schools before the aggression.
It stressed that "the play and learning activities provided by UNRWA teams are important in preparing children to return to school and regain their right to education."
In this context, the UN agency said at the beginning of this June that “children in Gaza are going through an endless nightmare.”
UNRWA explained, "The bombing, forced displacement, lack of food and water, and lack of access to education cause trauma to an entire generation."
