Deaf and blind Gaza children barred from school by conflict

What This Means

The war in Gaza has forced closure or disruption of schools serving visually and hearing-impaired children, blocking their access to specialized education. This reflects the humanitarian toll of the conflict on vulnerable populations and the breakdown of institutional services in the territory, which typically draws international aid responses and donor attention to reconstruction and social services.
