Israel has barred students from ten UNRWA schools from attending classes across three refugee camps in the northern West Bank, the Ma'an news agency reported. The action suspends educational operations at the facilities, which serve Palestinian refugee populations in the occupied territory.
The closures affect an unspecified number of students who depend on UN Relief and Works Agency instruction. UNRWA operates schools across the West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of its mandate to provide basic services to Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
