Back to school in Kherbet Daoud: ICRC rehabilitates school and playground in northern town

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) rehabilitated the public school of Kherbet Daoud, a town in the northern Lebanese region of Akkar.

The school brings together Lebanese and Syrian refugee children who share the classrooms and playground.

The engineering team at the ICRC’s Tripoli office also rehabilitated a local playground in the village. The aim of the project is to provide a safe public space for both the adults and children of the community members and the refugees residing there.

Children and schools are protected in war

International humanitarian law protects children from violence, recruitment and forced displacement - and safeguards their right to education. Schools must never be attacked or used for military purposes. The ICRC helps reunite separated families and supports children’s access to education, so that even amid conflict, every child can learn and grow in safety.
