Education Under Threat: An EU-funded Palestinian school at risk of destruction
As the sun breaks over the hills surrounding the beautiful and rocky Palestinian landscape near Jerusalem, a steady stream of children descend on Khan al-Ahmar, a small Bedouin village made up of corrugated metal and wooden shacks covered with plastic sheeting.
The children attend the only school in the area, which is now under immediate threat of demolition after Khan al-Ahmar’s residents were given written notice by the Israeli authorities government to vacate their village by early October 2018.
The school, funded by the European Union in the amount of almost €260 000, serves some 170 children from five nearby hamlets. One of them is 12-year-old Nadia Ahmed. Nadia is a sixth-grader and has spent her entire life in Khan al-Ahmar, and her favourite subjects are history and science.
