Lebanon's Schools Set to Reopen September 15 While Still Housing War-Displaced Families
Many schools across Lebanon continue to shelter people displaced by Israel's war even as the new academic year approaches, according to Al Jazeera.
Schools across Lebanon are scheduled to reopen on September 15, but a number of them are still being used as shelters for people displaced by Israel's war, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The report said the situation has created a challenge for education authorities and school administrators, who must balance the need to resume classes for students with the ongoing presence of displaced families occupying school buildings.
Al Jazeera did not specify the exact number of schools affected or provide further details on how authorities plan to relocate displaced residents before the start of the academic year.
The war between Israel and Hezbollah, along with related hostilities, has led to significant displacement within Lebanon in recent times, with many families seeking refuge in public buildings, including schools, when other housing options were unavailable.
Further details on the scale of displacement and the government's response were not immediately available.
