Education remains severely disrupted for hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza.

Key concerns

The ongoing conflict continues to exacerbate catastrophic conditions for over two million people in the Gaza Strip, leading to widespread hunger and poverty. Funding for humanitarian operations remains significantly below requirements.

Humanitarian impact

Almost all school buildings have been damaged or destroyed, resulting in substantial learning loss for children. The population continues to face severe food insecurity and poverty.

Information gaps

Details on specific health impacts and displacement figures are not yet covered in recent reporting.
