The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has renewed its call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, warning that children are entering a third year without education as Israel’s assault continues to devastate the enclave.
“Instead of learning, children spend their time searching for water and food,” the agency said in a post on X. “Children urgently need a Ceasefire Now so they can go back to learning and reconnect with whatever is left of their childhood.”
Unrwa said that almost 88 percent of Gaza’s schools have been directly struck since Israel’s war began in October 2023. The destruction has left classrooms in ruins and forced hundreds of thousands of children into survival mode.
While Israel maintains Western backing despite the scale of devastation, critics say Washington’s unconditional support enables genocide and has turned Gaza’s schools into Israeli targets.
