GAZA: UNRWA has said on Friday (21st of June, 2024) that 76 percent of schools need reconstruction or major rehabilitation to be functional again.

Due to unending Hamas-Israel War most schools in Palestine have been transformed into shelters for an enormous number of people in search of refuge from Israeli bombardment since 7th day of October, 2023.

According to Sam Rose, director of planning for UNRWA, the fact that approximately 39,000 students are unable to sit the territory’s General Secondary Examinations (Tawjihi) is sad.

“More than half a million who’ve been deprived of education for more than eight months, but I do agree it’s important that we focus today on those who aren’t sitting able to sit their exams,

“UNRWA got about 300 schools in Gaza. Almost two-thirds of them have been damaged or destroyed,”

“Unfortunately, these places, as we know, are not always safe. Five hundred people to date have been killed inside UNRWA schools.”
