Israel restricts Palestinian education by withholding funds | Conflict impact.

The Zenabia Elementary School in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, is struggling due to Israel withholding tax revenues owed to the Palestinian Authority. This has left the Palestinian school system broke, leading to limited school days, lack of supplies, and reduced teacher salaries. The budget cuts have resulted in schools only being open for three days a week, with students facing educational gaps and struggling to keep up with their studies. Families are feeling the impact of the crisis, with parents like Eman, who works in a halawa factory to support her family after her husband lost his job in Israel. Students like Zaid and the al-Hajj twins are spending more time out of school, and families are dealing with the challenges of limited resources and erratic schedules.
