United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) situation update on Gaza through January 14, 2026, documenting that more than 6,300 teachers are deployed across 449 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) serving more than 270,900 children, with TLS operating 2 daily shifts and 2 3-day rotations per week. Only about 42% of Gaza's school-aged population is enrolled in TLS for the 2025-26 academic year. The UN Secretary-General expressed concern on January 2, 2026, over Israeli authorities' announcement that it was suspending the operations of several international NGOs. The update covers 36 Palestinians killed and 100 injured during the reporting period. Recommended for education researchers and child rights advocates tracking the resumption of learning activities during the ceasefire, documenting the scale of TLS deployment and the significant enrollment gap relative to Gaza's school-age population.
