UN official warns Gaza risks ‘lost generation’ as schools lie in ruins

Gaza Risks 'Lost Generation' Due to Devastated Education System

A senior UN official has warned that Gaza faces the risk of a "lost generation" as its education system remains severely damaged after two years of war.

"If we don’t start a real transition for all children in February, we will enter a fourth year. And then we can talk about a lost generation."

According to Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF's regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, nearly all children in Gaza have been without formal schooling for a third consecutive year.

Author's summary: Gaza's education system is on the brink of collapse.
