UNRWA says more than 8,000 teachers in Gaza ready to help children resume learning
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that more than 8,000 of its teachers in the Gaza Strip are ready to assist in helping children to return to learning and resume their education.
In a statement posted on its official account, UNRWA stressed that it is the largest humanitarian organization operating in the Gaza Strip and must be allowed to carry out its duties without obstacles.
It affirmed that the children of Gaza have been deprived of education for far too long, stressing the need to enable them to return to school as soon as possible.
The Israeli aggression has severely impacted all service sectors in the Gaza Strip, including the education sector. Over 785,000 students have been deprived of their right to education, with the war destroying approximately 95 percent of educational institutions.
