Full Analysis Summary
Gaza education recovery
UNICEF has launched a major campaign to return hundreds of thousands of children to school across the Gaza Strip after roughly 2½ years of intense fighting that severely damaged the territory's education system.
UNICEF says about 90% of Gaza's schools have been damaged or destroyed since the war began.
A recent UN satellite assessment put damage at about 97% of schools.
More than 700,000 school-age children have been deprived of formal education.
The agency describes the effort as urgent and says schooling is a necessity, not a luxury.
Gaza emergency education
UNICEF currently supports education for roughly 135,000 children across more than 110 learning centers, many of which operate in tents or temporary structures.
UNICEF plans to scale this to over 336,000 children by the end of the year — about half of Gaza's school-age population — and aims to return all school-age children to in-person education by 2027.
The campaign is run with the Palestinian Ministry of Education and UNRWA and is described as one of the world's largest emergency education initiatives.
UNICEF education emergency appeal
UNICEF says it requires $86 million this year to fund the education effort.
The agency stresses that schooling provides more than learning: education centers serve as safe spaces and offer links to health, nutrition, protection, and sanitation services for children traumatised by the war.
UNICEF characterises the campaign as an emergency humanitarian priority and frames rapid restoration of schooling as essential to children's protection and well-being.
Scope and source limitations
I am restricted to the single provided source, Al-Jazeera Net.
Because no other articles were supplied, I cannot independently verify claims or attribute damage beyond the source's phrasing.
I will not apply broader labels, such as 'genocide,' unless the provided source uses them.
Although the source links school destruction to the war, it does not explicitly attribute responsibility to any particular actor in the provided text.
Therefore I will not add or assume details about who carried out specific attacks beyond what the source states.
