UN agency gradually resuming educational activities in Gaza
ANKARA (AA) – The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says that it has begun a gradual resumption of educational activities in some shelters in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
In an interview, UNRWA Media Director Inas Hamdan explained that the resumed activities are part of a long-term plan, focusing initially on sports, arts, drama, and games.
She added that these activities will also include psycho-social support for students in various shelters, tailored to the prevailing conditions.
Hamdan stressed that while this step aims to help children affected by the ongoing war regain a semblance of normalcy, it is still too early to discuss a comprehensive educational plan due to the continuing Israeli attacks.
The UNRWA reported earlier this week that 85% of its schools in Gaza — 477 out of 564 buildings — require significant repairs to become operational again.
Israel has hit schools, mosques, and hospitals numerous times in its war on Gaza. It has killed more than 39,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 91,000, according to local health authorities.
