Highlights:
A full academic year was lost for over 645,000 school children in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023.
Over 86 per cent of the Gaza Strip has been subject to displacement orders, including over 40 orders issued since 1 January 2024, with many families having to move multiple times.
UNICEF prepared the first round of the polio vaccination campaign with the aim to immunize all 640,000 children under 10 years across the Gaza Strip.
In the northern part of the West Bank, during the reporting period, Israeli forces have been undertaken major operations, killing ten children and putting children at serious risk of other grave violations. The incursions also resulted in extensive infrastructure demolition.
UNICEF supported 53,780 children (28,230 girls and 25,550 boys) from hot spot areas in the West Bank through age-specific summer recreational activities to mitigate learning loss, which were implemented in 603 schools for 13 days.
