Representatives from Education Above All's Al Fakhoora programme, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF), earlier this week, agreed to start joint education, reconstruction and psychosocial support projects in Gaza.
Officials discussed details of the projects in Gaza where their teams will work together.
