This is as a result of the ongoing fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants, known as, Hamas.
The relief and human development agency said, despite Israeli bombardment in Gaza, it has not stopped "to reach them in shelters and damaged buildings to offer critical play & learning activities".
The fighting between Israel and Hamas started in the early hours of Saturday 7 October, 2023 after Hamas launched a surprise attack on the Southern region of Israel, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking many other hostage.
Israel has conducted several retaliatory military actions with the aim to eliminate Hamas, however, these actions have resulted to the death of more than 38,000 in the Gaza Strip, as revealed by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
UNRWA said: "Around 300,000 UNRWA students have been out of school for nearly 9 months in #Gaza.
@UNRWA teams continue to reach them in shelters and damaged buildings to offer critical play & learning activities.
Children need a ceasefire. They need to go back to school."
