UNRWA reported it has set up 485 temporary learning spaces in 67 refugee centers and is increasing these facilities to ensure displaced children can continue their studies.
The agency also activated remote learning programs reaching more than 300,000 boys and girls throughout Gaza.
Currently, only a few schools remain operational amid hosting hundreds of thousands of displaced people, which severely disrupts regular classes.
