UNRWA Commissioner-General Lazzarini stated that more than 270,000 children have joined this educational program.

He explained that these children receive basic education in Arabic, English, mathematics, and science. "Our teams have recently opened 130 additional temporary learning spaces in schools and shelters. We are reaching approximately 47,000 children with face-to-face education across Gaza. UNRWA remains the largest provider of emergency education and psychosocial support in Gaza," he said.

Speaking about the importance of education in restoring hope for children, Lazzarini emphasized, "It is crucial to help them overcome the unimaginable traumas they have experienced. However, we still have a long way to go to bring more children back to learning. The goal is to prevent Palestinian children from becoming a lost generation. Right now, hundreds of thousands of boys and girls are living under the rubble, and bringing them back to education is an urgent matter. Failing to do so will only sow more seeds of hatred and extremism."
