At least 660,000 children are out of school in Gaza, the United Nations agency for Palestinian Refugees (Unrwa) said on X.
“I wish our house had not been destroyed. I used to have a desk for studying," Unrwa quoted Kinan, a child in Gaza, saying.
"Like 660,000 girls and boys, Kinan is out of school for a third year in a row," Unrwa said. "Returning to learning is not only about education, it's about starting to heal from deep trauma".
The agency added that it has the "ample capacity to support a phased return to formal education in Gaza. We must be allowed to do so unimpeded".
