More than 280,000 Palestinian children in war-devastated Gaza attempted to return to school on Saturday for the start of the academic year, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

Due to the extensive destruction from years of ongoing conflict, students are attending classes inside tents and heavily damaged classrooms.

The resumption of education highlights the severe infrastructural challenges facing the territory, with classes operating out of compromised facilities such as a UNRWA-run school in Nuseirat.
