GAZA, (PIC)
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday that more than 625,000 Palestinian children were deprived of schooling for more than eight months due to the Israeli war on Gaza.
It said in a post on X, “More than 625,000 children in Gaza have been out of school for over 8 months – 300,000 of them were UNRWA students before the war.”
“UNRWA teams are critical in preparing children to get back to school and restore their right to education,” UNRWA added.
The international agency had said at the start of the current month of June that children in Gaza “are going through an endless nightmare.”
Most of the 124,000 casualties of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip ongoing since 7 October 2023 are women and children.
