Israeli attacks on schools in Gaza have left nearly all educational institutions in ruins, leaving around 625,000 children without access to education. The remaining schools are now serving as shelters for displaced people, forcing young students to seek refuge in classrooms amidst the ongoing conflict.
This stark reality has turned what should be a safe space for learning into a makeshift home for families fleeing the violence. With schools reduced to rubble, children are not only missing out on education but are also facing the trauma of displacement and loss.
The targeting of schools in Gaza is a violation of the rights of children to access education in a safe environment. The international community must take immediate action to protect schools and ensure that children in conflict zones like Gaza are able to continue their education without fear of violence.
As the conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, it is imperative that the voices of the innocent children caught in the crossfire are heard. It is time to put an end to the attacks on schools and ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and secure environment.
