A tragic overnight strike on a humanitarian safe zone in Gaza resulted in the deaths of 40 Palestinians, just as children were supposed to return to school. The impact on children is devastating, as almost half of Gaza’s population are kids.
Families have been destroyed, and the true toll on children is yet to be determined. The Israel Defense Forces claimed they targeted Hamas terrorists within the safe zone.
Save The Children highlighted the ongoing impact of the conflict on education, with countless children missing out on another year of learning.
The destruction of schools and the disruption of education in Gaza have profound consequences for the future of Palestinian children.
