Israel to destroy 58 Palestinian schools

Friday 6-January-2023

58 Palestinian schools are at risk of demolition in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem the Arab Campaign for Education for All revealed.

In a statement issued on Thursday the campaign expressed deep concern over the Israeli violation of Palestinian children’s right to education.

Israeli authorities issued six demolition or stop-construction orders against six schools over the past year according to the campaign.

58 other schools serving 6550 students were also notified with demolition the campaign added.

In this regard the Arab Campaign for Education for All called on the UN concerned agencies to bear responsibility in confronting Israeli demolition policy against Palestinian schools.

The time has come for international institutions to go beyond condemnation and to move to pressure the Israeli occupation to stop its continuous violations against Palestinian education the statement reads.
