UNRWA announces resumption of educational process in Gaza
GAZA, Oct. 19 (YPA) – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Saturday the resumption of its educational process in the Gaza Strip.
“About 300,000 Palestinian students will resume classes in Gaza on Saturday under the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA,” the agency wrote on X.
According to Adnan Abu Hasna, UNRWA’s media advisor, the agency has “put plans in place to resume the educational process for 300,000 Palestinian students in UNRWA and this number is likely to increase.”
“We also have a plan in the health sector to revitalize 22 central clinics in the Gaza Strip,” he said. “We have dozens of food-distribution points and thousands of employees with great logistical experience.”
He said around 10,000 students will attend in-person classes in schools and shelters, while the vast majority will receive remote instruction because “it is absolutely impossible to have two years without schooling, preceded by two years of Corona.”
Abu Hasna added that 8,000 teachers will take part in the program.
He emphasized, “It is time to rebuild lives and dreams through education, and it is time to allow humanitarian aid to enter on a large scale, including through UNRWA.”
