After 3 years without regular in-person learning, more children in #Gaza are returning to class.

Mariam, 14, had to drop out of school when she fled violence in South Kordofan, Sudan. But at a displacement camp, a UNICEF-supported learning centre is helping her catch up on her lessons as she dreams of becoming a doctor. For children’s dreams to come true, peace must become a reality in Sudan.
