The Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Gaza reported that 46 public schools and two buildings in the North and West Gaza Education Districts were damaged as a result of the continuous Zionist aggression.
The ministry said in a press statement, today, Thursday, that the affected schools were bombed, directly or indirectly.
She explained that the damage included shattering windows, doors and windows, cracks and collapses in the walls, smashing school tools and deep digging in school yards, in addition to bombing roads leading to schools.
The ministry affirmed that the Gaza Strip suffers mainly from a lack of schools due to the Zionist blockade on Gaza and preventing the entry of building materials, and that targeting existing schools is a systematic Israeli plan and policy to eradicate education and destroy its infrastructure, pointing out that the bombing of schools is a crime committed by the Zionist occupation, which is a flagrant violation of all covenants. And international norms and the right to education that the world proclaims.
The Ministry called on the international community, human rights institutions and institutions interested in education, such as the United Nations, UNESCO, UNICEF, the International Education Group and the Joint European Funding JFA, to condemn and denounce the Zionist aggression against schools and educational facilities, and to work seriously to rebuild the damaged schools.
