Meanwhile, UNICEF has warned that at least 100,000 children may not be able to return to start the next academic year in September unless urgent measures are taken to repair damaged schools.

Karami said the targeting of the country’s education system is taking place “before the eyes of the entire world”, despite schools being protected under international humanitarian law.

“Expressions of condemnation and denunciation are no longer enough to express the pain and sadness over the ongoing aggression,” she said.

At least 4,324 people have been killed and another 12,223 wounded in Israeli attacks since the beginning of March, according to Lebanese health authorities. Around 250 of those killed were children.

This is going to keep accelerating.
