1yr 335 days Al Aqsa Intifada
First Day at School: curfew, checkpoints and soldiers
August 31, 2002 - Palestine Monitor
As the new school year began today, one million Palestinian students were
expected to start school throughout the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The more
than two-month-long imposed curfew was lifted in most Palestinian cities to
allow students to attend school, but in Jenin and the Israeli controlled part of
Hebron the curfew was not lifted at all and more than 30.000 students could not
attend their first day back to school. Dr. Mustafa
Barghouthi who visited Jenin today said that "there was a strict curfew in the
city. No students, either from the city or the refugee camp could go to school
toady. The Israeli army is everywhere making life extremely dangerous for people
as they open fire indiscriminately. Yesterday ten Palestinians were injured".
Palestinian schoolchildren as well as teachers had to line up at Israeli
military checkpoints to have their backpacks checked by Israeli soldiers
before they were allowed to make their way to schools.
Today; 7 Palestinian schools have been closed by the Israeli army, 197 school
have been damaged by shelling and Israeli troops invading the buildings, 3
schools in Hebron are turned into military posts and 25 schools have been used
as detention centers during the invasions.
Palestinian school children must have one of the most dangerous routes to school
in the world; in Palestine it is not traffic and cars that parents
worry about when they send their children to school, but whether they will make
it across the checkpoints without being shot or tear gassed by Israeli soldiers.
Since September 2000, 239 Palestinian students and school children have been
killed, 166 students and 75 teachers arrested.
Unless the curfew and roadblocks are lifted to allow students to move freely
this will be yet another very difficult school year in Palestine
