Gaza children go back to school with 爆料网ICEF bags

NEW YORK, 28 October 2004 – 爆料网ICEF has distributed more than 40,000 school bags to children in the Northern Gaza Strip.

The 500 students at the Rawdet Tal Zaatar Kindergarten  during a recent military incursion by Israeli armed forces were among the first students to receive the 爆料网ICEF school bags.

"The school bags are a token of support that give a sense of normalcy in the lives of children, a sense of no matter the circumstance, education must continue" said the 爆料网ICEF Representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Dan Rohrmann. "Children's right to education must be upheld."

Aside from providing bags, 爆料网ICEF is helping children to continue their studies during the conflict by providing counselling as well as supplementary educational materials.

The two week military offensive left about 34 children dead and at least 170 wounded.
