Schools in Gaza turned into shelters for displaced persons. The beginning of the school year in gas: 660,000 children remained outside the school education system Culture and education “Instead of studying at school, we live in it,” says Diana, describing the disastrous conditions in which thousands of children are now in the gas sector. Their lives are destroyed by the war, and now they risk being left without school training for the third year in a row. Diana and other children with whom the UN news service managed to return to return in their studies, but now they are forced to live in school buildings, turned into shelters for displaced residents of Gaza. Almost all 2.3 million Palestinians in the sector were forced to change their place of residence over the two years of the war, which began after the attacks organized by Hamas and the subsequent military operations of Israel. & Amp; nbsp; according to the UN agency to help Palestinian refugees (Bapor), about 660 thousand children in the sector remain outside the school system Education. & nbsp; in one of the corridors of the Bapor school, turned into crowded housing, Diana shares her pain: “We no longer play or learn. There is no more education. We live at school, we eat and sleep here. & Amp; nbsp; “two years of our life have gone nowhere” Another Palestinian girl, Misk, recently lost her father. Her tragedy is aggravated by the lack of the opportunity to study. & Amp; nbsp; “Two years of our life have gone nowhere,” she says. – If not for the war, I would now prepare for school, bought pens and notebooks. And now we are looking for water and run to public kitchens in search of food. ”& Amp; nbsp; Holding the tears, she adds: “We are children, and we want to live like other children. My father died. What is my fault, that I became an orphan at this age ? why I am deprived of my family and normal life ? ”Nine -year -old Jan also dreams of returning to study:“ We want to study again. We want to go home. We want to live a normal life. The fact that around is not life. ” She hopes that the war will end, and she will be able to return to study: “We want to go home. We want to return to school. We want to do something useful. We have not eaten normal food for a long time. We want to live a normal life. ”& Amp; nbsp; “ lost generation ”The UN agency created in 1949 to help Palestinian refugees warns: children who are deprived of education risk becoming a “lost generation.” Children should always be protected, ”the agency said. & Amp; nbsp; almost a million children in gas suffer from severe psychological injuries. More than 90 percent of schools are destroyed or seriously damaged, their restoration will require significant resources and long time. & Amp; NBSP; western coast: empty schools of Jenin camp About 46 thousand displaced children should begin the new academic year in Bapor schools on the western bank. Despite violence, which continues around, schools remain for them with a relatively safe refuge and a source of quality education, says Roland Frederick, director of the Bapor for West Coast. & Amp; nbsp; “At that time last year I opened the academic year with children in the Jennin camp,” he recalls. -Now these children are forcibly resettled, and the Bapor schools in the camp are empty. ”& Amp; nbsp; of more than 30 thousand displaced Palestinians in the north of the western coast, a third-children from Jennin, Tulkarm and Nurhams. & Amp; nbsp;“ In the eastern Jerusalem, for the first time in our history, the authorities of Israel were prohibited for the opening of the Six Bapor schools, which affected about 800 children, says Roland Frederick. “Only a few of them were able to sign up to other schools.” & Amp; nbsp; The representative of the Bapor emphasized that all this not only violates the right of Palestinian children to education, but also contradicts Israel’s obligations as a UN member state. & Amp; nbsp; despite all the difficulties, the Bapor remains the second largest supplier of the western coast after the Palestinian administration, providing training through schools, training centers and hybrids Formats. & nbsp; “In this school season, we are proud of our students and teachers who continue to show resistance in the face of difficulties,” said Roland Friedrich. “We wish all the children of the school year, filled with the joy of new acquaintances, knowledge and study of something new.”
