JAKARTA - The United Nations Agency for Assistance and Work for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Wednesday that Israeli occupation authorities would seize the right to education from 800 children because six schools in East Jerusalem will be closed.
"In less than 10 days, the closure order issued by Israeli officials against six UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem will take effect," UNRWA Affairs Director at the West Bank Roland Friedrich said in a statement on platform X, quoted from WAFA April 30.
He explained that the closure of the school "threatened the right to education for about 800 children, which is a violation of Israel's obligations under international law."
"UNRWA schools in Shu's camp have been part of the social order of the camp for decades, allowing children to receive higher-quality education near their homes," he explained.
"The girls are now worried that their dream of becoming doctors or scientists will be dashed if they lose their right to education," he added.
It is known that the occupation authorities decided to close six UNRWA schools in the refugee camps of Shuafat, Silwan, Wadi al-Joz and Sur Baher in Jerusalem on May 8.

That cannot be separated from the decision of the Israeli Parliament. On October 28, 2024, Israel's Knesset unanimously approved two laws prohibiting UNRWA from carrying out any activities within Israel, revoking its privileges and facilities, and prohibiting any official contact with him. The decision came into effect at the end of January.
