New York - Saba:
A UN rapporteur revealed Monday that "more than 90% of schools in Gaza were completely or partially destroyed and no longer fit for use, due to the Zionist aggression on the Strip.
According to Palestinian media, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education Farida Shaheed said in a statement that schools were subjected to repeated attacks even after they became shelters for civilians.
Shaheed stressed that the recovery of the education system in Gaza depends primarily on the end of the Zionist aggression and occupation.
The UN rapporteur used the term "school annihilation" to describe what the education sector in Gaza witnessed under the Zionist aggression, and pointed out that this term means the complete and deliberate destruction of the education system.
The UN rapporteur added "The Palestinians have shown tremendous resilience, and even if it takes a generation or two, they will be able to recover, but only if they are allowed to live in peace and rebuild their lives in the way they want it.”
During their destruction of the Gaza Strip, the enemy forces destroyed most of the schools, whether government or affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
