2026-10-18Education remains severely disrupted for hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza.
For nearly three school years, approximately 765,000 children in Gaza have lacked formal in-person schooling. While Temporary Learning Spaces provide education for many, four out of ten children still do not have access to these facilities.
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.
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.
Details on specific health impacts and displacement figures are not yet covered in recent reporting.
