"I am Masa, she pleaded. Please open the road for us. We want to go to school. We are not doing anything wrong. We just have our books. We love our school."
"For more than 40 days during the US-Israeli war on Iran, Palestinian schools were closed in the area. But last week when a ceasefire allowed Palestinian schools in the West Bank to reopen, the children in Umm al-Khair arrived to find the fence blocking the path to their school."
"Until now, some children haven't returned to the site because of fear. They can't sleep. Security camera footage recorded by community members showed settlers coming during the night to erect the barbed wire fence."
Children from the Bedouin community of Umm al-Khair protested against a barbed wire fence blocking their access to school. The fence was erected by settlers, and soldiers responded violently when children attempted to go around it. The community has faced school closures due to conflict, and the recent reopening was marred by this new barrier. Despite the fence being built without legal authorization, soldiers have not removed it. The village faces imminent demolition orders, further complicating the situation for the children and their education.
