Unrwa: Generation of Gaza's children could be 'lost' if Israeli aggression continues

An entire generation of Gaza's children could be lost if Israel's assault on the enclave continues, Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees warned on Friday.

The relief agency's Director of Communications, Juliette Touma said that over 600,000 children in Gaza have not been able to go to school since October, due to school closures and the transformation of the agency's schools into shelters.

"This means that if this war continues, we will face the risk of losing an entire generation of children.," Touma said in a post on X.
