The 50-year occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, hinders access to education for many Palestine refugee children. In the West Bank, UNRWA operates 96 schools reaching nearly 50,000 students, many of whom must go to school in a context marked by military operations, settler violence, checkpoint delays and school closures.
