Around 50,000 children risk losing education over Unrwa ban

Israel's ban on the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, which is set to come into force at the end of January, risks depriving around 50,000 Palestinian children of their education.

"Around 50,000 children who go to UNRWA schools are at risk of losing their access to education. If the Israeli Parliament’s ban on UNRWA is implemented at the end of January, what will be the fate of these children?" the body said on X.

"The ban on UNRWA must not be implemented. All children must continue to have education."
