Iran War Fuel Price Rise Threatens Education Access in Developing Regions
The Iran war has caused a significant rise in fuel prices, impacting education access globally, especially in developing regions like Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake. Families face increased costs for transportation, forcing some children to leave school to support their households. Climate change and safety concerns, such as drowning risks during boat travel, compound these challenges. A UNICEF report warns that up to 23.4 million more children could fall into poverty by year-end if the conflict persists, primarily in Africa and Asia.
