AhlulBayt News Agency: More than 70 percent of the schools in the war-battered Gaza Strip have been directly bombed and attacked by the Israeli army since October 7, 2023, UNRWA said on Monday.
“About 88 percent of Gaza’s schools require reconstruction or major rehabilitation,” UNRWA said in social media remarks.
“This includes 162 UNRWA schools that once served hundreds of thousands of boys and girls.”
The UN refugee agency expressed sadness to see Gaza children being displaced, killed, traumatized and deprived of education as a result of Israeli attacks, which “have been ongoing for over one and a half years.”
“Education in Gaza is a casualty of war,” the refugee agency added.
The Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, 2025 shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
On October 28, 2024, the Israeli Knesset passed a bill banning UNRWA from operating in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Al-Quds.
