Child Day: 573 Children Killed, 6,000 Made Homeless and 2,000 Arrested Since Sept. 2000, UNICEF Says
GAZA, June 2, 2004 (IPC + WAFA)-- Marking the World’s Child Day and the signing of the international convention of the child rights, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) found out that the number of the Palestinian children killed by the Israeli occupying forces reached 573, more than 2,500 houses were demolished, further 6,000 children were made homeless and 2,000 others were arrested since September 2000.
The UNECEF in the West Bank released a report on the Child Day, which figured out that 53% of the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza Strip were below 18 year old, making up 1.8 millions children. Meanwhile, the rate of the children going to school from (5-18 years old) was about 1.2 million.
The report heeded the attention that such considerable figures might liable to rising if the report tackled the number of the casualties amongst the Palestinian children within three and a half years, as 5 73 children were hilled by the Israeli firing. Until the last line dropped in this report, there are 337 minors held inside the Israeli prisons.
Speaking about the restrictions on the free movement to reach schools, the report explained that the restrictions on the movement, the frequent delay at the Israeli military checkpoints and using long roundabouts resulted in the closure of schools, barring the students and teacher to attend the classes.
The report stated that in the school year (2002-2003), UNRWA schools in the West Bank absorbed 25% of the Palestinian students. The number of school days Palestinian students have lost reached 4,751 days as 145 teachers, making up 9% of the UNRWA teachers, found difficulties reaching their schools that inflicted losses to the UNRWA of $230,831.
As for the downfall in academic achievement, the report asserted that despite the low rate of school fallout among the Palestinian students due to attending their class in other schools, the learning was still falling down, resulted from the constant closure, the construction of the Apartheid Wall and violence. Thus, the learning downfall of the UNRAWA school year (2003-2004) got higher compared to (2000-2001).
