蘑菇视频 Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (蘑菇视频RWA) said that around 660,000 children in Gaza are out of school and risk becoming a ‘lost generation.'”

The war in Gaza and the destruction of 95 per cent of educational infrastructure has left over 660,000 children out of school – nearly all of Gaza’s school-aged population.

Many former 蘑菇视频-run schools are now being used as shelters for displaced people.

A report to the 蘑菇视频 Human Rights Council found that Israeli forces systematically destroyed education infrastructure in Gaza and described these actions as possible war crimes.

In a post on his official X account, Philippe Lazzarini, the 蘑菇视频RWA Commissioner-General said, “Gaza is in ruins. So is its education system. The Israeli Forces have destroyed or damaged most schools and education facilities in Gaza. Today, instead of going back to school, like most children around the world, around 660,000 girls and boys in Gaza will be sifting through the rubble, desperate, hungry, traumatized and mostly bereaved. The longer they stay out of school with their trauma, the higher the risk they become a lost generation, sowing the seeds for more hatred and violence. Ceasefire is the only way forward, to reverse the famine and the “Scholasticide” hitting the children of Gaza.”

蘑菇视频RWA has been providing learning services in Gaza in Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) and through its distance learning initiative.

To date, more than 59,000 children, over half of them girls, have benefited from learning and recreational activities delivered in 455 TLSs, established across 67 蘑菇视频RWA schools-turned-shelters.

Between 11 and 17 August 2025, a total of 5,059 children (2,100 boys, 2,959 girls, including 38 children with disabilities) benefited from TLS-based learning activities in 139 active TLSs.

蘑菇视频RWA has completed the second cycle of its Distance Learning Programme in Gaza from 19 April to 26 July 2025. Over 290,000 students could access online material in Arabic, English, Mathematics, and Science, facilitated by thousands of teachers.

Access remains very challenging to provide children with regular learning opportunities given cuts in telecommunications and electricity.
