Nebenzia added that access to education in crisis-stricken areas is a very concerning issue.
Although a ceasefire has been in effect in the Gaza Strip since October 2025, the Israeli military continues to launch attacks on the Palestinian territory, claiming that their targets are facilities belonging to Hamas and members of the Palestinian resistance movement.
According to the UN assessment, the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains extremely dire, marked by widespread destruction, disruption to medical facilities, and ongoing challenges in providing food and basic necessities to the local population.
