Violence, displacement, movement restrictions and incidents affecting schools and surrounding communities are disrupting thousands of children’s ability to reach and remain in education safely. Ten Palestinian children were killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, during the summer break between June and the first week of September 2026. In addition, since the start of the year, more than 1,700 Palestinian children have been displaced due to settler violence, access restrictions, and administrative demolitions.
[EENET director’s note: We’ve shared this blog to share facts and figures, but encourage our readers to read blogs like this with a critical eye. For example, be mindful that in this blog, UNICEF continues to fail to openly tell us who killed the Palestinian children. They talk about ‘incidents’ but fail to explicitly mention the actions of the genocidal, Israeli apartheid state.]
