At least one student died and nine others were injured after a minibus transferring schoolchildren broke down in AlKhayateen Street, in Qudsaya town, in Rif Dimashq.
24 students from Ras AlEin and AlKawkab schools, run by UNRWA, were onboard the worn-out bus.
The families held the Syrian Education Ministry responsible for the accident, saying the Ministry exerted pressure on UNRWA to evacuate nearby schools, forcing students to risk their lives onboard private transportation vehicles that lack maintenance to get access to other schools.
