Israeli settlers have destroyed schools in the West Bank that were funded by Finland. The incident affects local education projects in an area where humanitarian and development work already faces major obstacles.

According to Yle News, Finland’s Foreign Ministry channels aid to the Palestinian territories through several programmes. The schools were part of broader efforts supported by Finnish development cooperation.

It is not yet clear how extensive the damage is or what will happen next for the schools involved. The case highlights how vulnerable civilian projects remain amid rising tensions in the West Bank.
