UNICEF: Helping children stay in school in the occupied Palestinian territory
The basic right of children to go to school is continually threatened in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Access to schools is regularly jeopardized by Israeli military operations and intra-Palestinian conflict. Children in Hebron are among the most affected. Palestinians here are among the poorest and parents often cannot pay for their children's school fees.
Students coming to the school have to pass through a military outpost manned by Israeli military Students with disabilities face an even greater challenge in getting to school. Schools are not equipped for children with physical disabilities.
