Statement by Geert Cappelaere Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa

AMMAN, 10 October 2018 –?¡°Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµICEF is alarmed by the news that the school in Khan Al Ahmar in the State of Palestine could be destroyed in the coming days or even hours.

¡°The 167 children from that town and neighbouring village who are learning, dreaming and playing there have a right to access safe education wherever their communities and families are living, just like all the other children in the world.

¡°We ask the Israeli authorities that the interests of children be a primary consideration in their decision making.¡±
