The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that more than 830,000 Palestinian students returned to school this week in the occupied West Bank, but thousands face ongoing educational disruption. The agency cited displacement and pending home demolitions as primary obstacles to regular attendance and learning.
Schooling interruptions have become a persistent challenge across the territory, with families facing uncertainty about their housing stability. The threat of eviction forces some students to miss classes, while others contend with damaged or destroyed school infrastructure in areas targeted for demolition.
