The Gaza Strip is facing a drastic educational crisis as more than 625,000 children were unable to go to school for over eight months, according to UNRWA. 

In a post on X, the UN organization said that out of the 625,000 children, 300,000 of them were UNRWA students before the war.

Thousands of Palestinian children buried under rubble in Gaza: UNICEF

The Israeli occupation not only prevented children from attaining their education by destroying schools across the Gaza Strip, but by targeting and murdering them over the past eight months. 

UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban highlighted the significant number of child casualties in the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip during a UN Security Council meeting on children and armed conflict on Wednesday. He stressed that thousands of children remain buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings in the Palestinian territory.
 
Elsewhere in his remarks, he emphasized that Palestinian children are experiencing "incomprehensible suffering," especially in the Gaza Strip, amid the “staggering” scale of death and destruction.

Chaiban mentioned that over 23,000 cases of children being killed or injured in 2023 remain unverified due to insecurity, movement restrictions, and significant risks faced by humanitarian personnel working in Gaza.

“The bodies of thousands of missing children remain buried under rubble, and none of this includes the thousands of violations reported so far in 2024,” he stressed.
