Nobel Prize winner and Pakistani education campaigner, Malala
Yousafzai, has donated $50,000 towards the reconstruction of schools in
war-torn Gaza in Palestine. Many public buildings and schools in the Gaza
Strip were destroyed by Israeli warplanes and tanks during Gaza’s recent
conflict with Israel.
Malala made the donation yesterday Wednesday October 29th after
receiving the World Children’s Prize for the rights of the child in
Marienfred, Sweden. Speaking at the event, Malala said the money will be
channeled through the United Nations relief agency UNRWA to help
rebuild 65 schools in the Palestinian territory.
