NUSEIRAT: The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA, announced this week that following the start of the ceasefire Gaza, it was reopening some schools in the territory, with children gradually returning to classes.
UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said on X on Tuesday that more than 25,000 schoolchildren had already joined the agency’s “temporary learning spaces,” while some 300,000 would follow online classes.
At Al-Hassaina school in western Nuseirat, in the central Gaza Strip, classes had just resumed despite a shortage of classrooms.
Warda Radwan, an 11-year-old student, said she was looking forward to returning to her learning routine.
“I am in sixth grade now, but I lost two years of schooling because of displacement and the war,” she said.
