UNRWA’s Director of Programs - Syria Field Office, Amanya Michael Ebye said a UNRWA committee is about to see the day in order to assess the damage wrought on AlTabgha School, in Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Damascus, pending its reconstruction.
Yarmouk’s education chief Walid AlKurdi quoted the Director-General of Palestinian Arab Refugees, Ali Mustafa, as calling for urgently rehabilitating the school and securing means of transport to students pending the finalization of reconstruction works.
Recently, Palestinian children taking shelter in Yarmouk Camp have appealed to UNRWA and the General Authority for Palestinian Refugees to work on reconstructing their destroyed schools so as to enable them to pursue their studies.
Parents have also called for opening up the local school, recruiting qualified teaching staff, and securing transportation means back to and from the camp.
Available data by UNRWA indicates that 32 UNRWA facilities have been reduced to rubble in Yarmouk Camp, including 16 schools.
Several UNRWA facilities were destroyed in the Syrian warfare and others have gone out of operation, including two clinics, a vocational training center, a youth development center, and 28 schools, out of 112 UNRWA schools in Syria.
