Thousands of children in West Bank face triple threat: collapse of the education system, food crisis and destruction of the reference environment

Action Against Hunger is deeply concerned about how the extreme increase in violence in both the West Bank and Gaza is restricting children's right to education. Both the education systems in Gaza and the West Bank suffered limitations and extensive damage long before the attacks after 7 October 2023; however, the last few months have left an unprecedented number of child deaths, attacks on schools and restrictions on movement that do not allow children to have the education to which they are entitled.

The ceasefire in Gaza has been insufficient, our teams continue to work despite the challenges

During almost a week of temporary ceasefire, Action Against Hunger teams have been able to scale up their humanitarian response with interventions such as the construction of a sanitation unit in Al Aqsa hospital in Deir Al Balah, including toilets and washbasins, which we hope to complete in the coming days. The renewed fighting puts our activities at risk, which is why we insist that a permanent ceasefire is necessary to meet the most basic needs of the Gazan population.
