Gaza City, August 15 (RHC)-- The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says about 625,000 children in Gaza have been out of school for an entire academic year due to the war.
In a post on X, the agency’s chief, Philippe Lazzarini, warned that without education, children are at risk of “violence and exploitation, including child labour, early marriage, and recruitment by armed groups.”
Lazzarini said: “We must bring children back to learning.”
