Gaza's Kids Need Schools: Breaking Down the Barriers

Gaza's children are missing out on school. This is a big problem. Schools are not just about learning. They are also safe places. They help kids feel normal. Right now, only a small number of kids can go to school. Many are waiting to get in. This is not good. There are many things stopping kids from going to school. Some schools are damaged. Others are full. There are also dangers like bombs that did not explode. These need to be cleared. But there is a bigger problem. Supplies for schools are not getting in. This includes books, pens, and even tents for classrooms. Help is ready to go in. Organizations have supplies like water tablets, food, and vaccines. They also have things for schools. But they need permission to bring these things in. They need fuel and clear rules. Without these, it is hard to help. Everyone has a role to play. Governments, donors, and institutions need to step up. They need to fund the response. They need to support recovery. They need to push for aid and education to flow freely. A cease-fire is not enough. It must allow aid to enter. Gaza's children need more than just survival. They need hope. They need education. They need to feel safe. It is time to act. Open the crossings. Clear the barriers. Put children first.
