According to the latest data released by UNICEF and its partners, at least 64 attacks against schools were registered in the Gaza Strip last month. An estimated 128 people were reportedly killed in the strikes, many of them children, a press release by UNICEF said. The attacks on schools in October – which largely serve as shelters for displaced children and families – bring the overall number to 226 such attacks since the start of the conflict last year. In total, over one million children have been displaced in the last 14 months. Latest estimates from UNICEF data suggest that nearly half of the attacks recorded in October happened in northern Gaza, where renewed intense bombardments, mass displacement, and lack of sufficient aid are pushing children to the brink. Under International Humanitarian Law, schools are protected spaces. Yet, since the onset of hostilities in October 2023, over 95% of schools in Gaza have been partially or completely destroyed. At least 87% will require significant reconstruction before they can function again.
