UNICEF has announced that its work has supported the re-opening of 23 primary schools in the eastern parts of Aleppo in the past few weeks, allowing more that 6,000 children to return to school.
According to a statement published on its website, UNICEF said that it has provided school supplies, developed an accelerated learning programme and trained teachers to help displaced children catch up on the months and years of education they have missed.
The statement added, "An urgent awareness-raising programme has been rolled out to inform children and families about the dangers of unexploded remnants of war. So far, the programme has reached 50,000 children. Psycho-social support activities have been provided to 35,000 children in shelters and other locations to help them recover from the horrors they lived through."
