Run by UNICEF, the school brings together children from the original classrooms and those displaced by war. It doesn't teach the full Palestinian curriculum, just the basics, English, Arabic and maths. Classes run in three shifts, trying to reach thousands of children who were forced to flee again and again, while tens of thousands more still have no access to education at all. The school's principal, Dr. Mohamed Saeed Sheber, says despite the efforts, they're unable to accommodate everyone.

UNICEF says only 37 percent of schools across conflict-hit states have early warning systems in place to detect threats.
