Gaza's Al-Noor centre supports visually impaired children amid surging war casualties

Saturday, 18 April 2026, 06:05 · 1 min read

The Al-Noor centre, a UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) facility in Gaza operating since 1962, is providing critical education and support to visually impaired children under mounting pressure. Israel's war on Gaza has left more than 1,500 people with vision loss since 2023, significantly increasing demand on the centre's already strained resources. The facility represents one of the few dedicated lifelines for blind and visually impaired children in the territory amid the ongoing conflict.
