The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that the Gaza Strip is on the threshold of losing an entire generation of children due to the ongoing Zionist aggression on the Strip since the seventh of last October.
UNRWA Director of Media and Outreach, Juliette Touma, said in a post on the X platform today that more than 600,000 children in Gaza have not been able to attend school since the start of the Zionist aggression on Gaza.
Touma pointed to the closure of a large number of schools, and the transformation of UNRWA schools into shelters for the displaced, adding that this means that if this war continues, we will face the risk of losing an entire generation of children, stressing that the time when children are absent from school will make it difficult to avoid their losses in education, calling for a ceasefire for these children.
UNRWA Commissioner Felipe Lazzarini confirmed earlier that the enemy has bombed two-thirds of the agency’s schools since the start of the
war on Gaza, noting that schools have turned from safe places for education and hope for children, to overcrowded shelters, and often end up in a place of death and misery.
The Zionist enemy continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air, since the seventh of last October, which resulted in the death and injury of tens of thousands of Palestinians, the majority of whom are children and women, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble.
