BEIRUT: Local authorities in embattled northwestern Syria on Wednesday suspended school in Idlib city and surrounding areas a day after reported strikes on educational facilities.
“Due to the bad security conditions, classes have been suspended until the end of the week in all schools in Idlib city,” the education directorate said in a statement.The Britain-based Observatory said a schoolchild and three teachers were killed when a school was hit in Idlib city on Tuesday. “Targeting schools and kindergartens being used for civilian purposes is a war crime,” the rights group’s Heba Morayef said.
“We strongly condemn the killing and maiming of children. Schools and other education facilities are a sanctuary for children. Attacking them is a grave violation of children’s rights,” the UN children’s agency said in a statement.“Schools must be safe havens for children, even in a conflict zone,” the charity’s Syria response director, Sonia Khush, said on Tuesday.
