West Bank: more than 80 schools face demolition orders while education aid remains underfunded
Summary
UN briefing said over 80 Palestinian schools face demolition or related orders in the West Bank; education partners reached 60,000 students this year but only just over 10% of funding needed for education support has been secured.
Farhan told reporters that across the West Bank more than 80 Palestinian schools are subject to demolition or related orders. He said education partners have reached more than 60,000 students through remedial and catch‑up learning programs and rehabilitated 30 schools, provided transport assistance and protection measures to over 2,600 students and education personnel in high‑risk areas.
Farhan warned that funding remains critically low, with just over 10% of the funding required for education support secured this year, and urged donors to fill the gap so programs can continue.
The briefing framed these measures as temporary protective and remedial steps rather than a long‑term solution, and called for sustained international support to keep students in learning programmes.
