From earthquakes in Nepal to flooding in Myanmar, disasters damage or destroy thousands of schools leaving hundreds of thousands of children unable to go to class, yet education is often overlooked in humanitarian responses, a charity said.
Deadly earthquakes in Nepal last year damaged or destroyed more than 8,200 schools, leaving 870,000 children without access to classrooms.
Nearly a year later, many children are still taking lessons in makeshift facilities without walls, exposed to cold winter weather, Save the Children said in a report on lost education due to disasters in the Asia-Pacific region.
