South Africa Cape Town- The United Nations Children's Foundation stated in a new report on Friday that last year, at least 242 million children in 85 countries interrupted their studies due to heat waves, hurricanes, floods, and other extreme weather.

According to the United Nations Children's Foundation, by 2024, one -in -world will not be able to go to school due to climate harm.

The report also outlines how hundreds of schools in some countries are destroyed due to weather. Among them, low -income countries in Asia and South Sahara are particularly severe.

However, in other regions, it was not spared to exempt extreme weather. The heavy rain and floods near the end of the year caused more than 900,000 children to be unable to go to school. Thousands of people stopped classes after a catastrophic flood in Spain.

According to the United Nations Children's Foundation, although South Europe has encountered a fatal flood and Asia and Africa have encountered floods and hurricanes, the heat wave is "the main climatic disaster caused by the school's climb last year" because the earth created the hottest year in history.

The United Nations Children's Foundation stated that in April alone, there were more than 118 million children's academic interruptions. From Gaza in the west to the Philippines in the southeast, most areas of the Middle East and Asia have gone through a long heat heat wave, which has soared to 40 to 40 Above a degree Celsius (104 Huali).

Catherine Russell, executive director of the United Nations Children's Foundation, said in a statement: "Children are more vulnerable to the crisis of weather, including stronger, more frequent heat waves, storms, droughts, and floods." "Children’s children’s. Compared with adults, the body is particularly fragile. Can't reach the school. "

About 74% of the affected children in 2024 came from middle -income and low -income countries, which showed that how the extreme climate continued to have a destructive impact on the poorest country. In April, more than 400 schools in Pakistan were destroyed by floods. The United Nations Children's Foundation said that Afghanistan experienced heat waves and severe floods in May, destroying more than 110 schools.

The weather phenomenon in El Niophard has exacerbated the drought for months in Southern Africa, threatening the academic and future of millions of children.

And there are almost no signs of the crisis. Poor French territory Mattore is located in the Indian Ocean near Africa. It was destroyed by the whirlwind in December last year. This month, it was once again attacked by the tropical storm Dikleidi, which led to six weeks of children on the island.

The cyclone "Qido" also destroyed more than 330 schools and three regional education departments in the African continent, where education opportunities are already a deep problem.

The United Nations Children's Foundation stated that schools and education systems around the world "basically have no ability" to deal with the impact of extreme weather.
