In Gaza, West Bank, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, UNRWA provides basic education to 500,000 Palestine refugee children daily. These students are eager to learn but they face tremendous challenges, from violence to restriction of movement, from displacement to physical injuries.

Through innovative approaches, the EU-supported UNRWA Education in Emergencies programme allows children affected by conflict to keep receiving quality education and to hope for a better future!
