West Bank's UNRWA schools host 48,000 students
The article discusses the start of the 2026/2027 academic year in the schools operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the West Bank, where approximately 48,000 students enrolled in 90 schools. Students in the area face significant challenges such as displacement and insecurity, while the agency continues to provide education through temporary means like alternative learning spaces and remote learning, especially in northern West Bank. In occupied East Jerusalem, UNRWA schools have been forcibly closed since May 2025, affecting around 800 refugee children. This situation is linked to invasions and Israeli procedures that threaten the continuity of education. The agency reaffirms that children have the right to education as a means of building their future, and it continues to work efforts to provide education and a safe environment despite difficult circumstances.
