RAMALLAH, January 9, 2012 (WAFA) – Israeli authorities closed the only road leading to Khan al-Ahmar elementary school, dubbed school of tires, northeast of Jerusalem, the Palestinian Ministry of Education said in a statement Monday.
Israeli forces warned the Bedouin residents of the area from heading to school and put up cement blocks and a fence higher than 150 cm to prevent students and vehicles from reaching it, said the statement.
It condemned the closure and said it falls under the continuous Israeli assaults against the school, including raids, vandalism, as well as demolition and eviction notices that terrorize around 100 Palestinian children attending the school.
Residents built the school of used tires to teach the children after Israel had refused to allow them to build a regular school.
The ministry called on international organizations to stop the Israeli inhumane practices targeting the Palestinian educational process and to guarantee the students’ right to safe education.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
