What Happened

Children in Umm al-Khair, occupied West Bank, face barbed wire blocking their school route. After schools reopened following ceasefire, soldiers deployed tear gas against protesting students. Palestinians staged 'Freedom School' demonstrations. The fence prevents access to a school one kilometer away that Bedouin communities accessed for decades.
