Five students killed in Gaza escalation
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education warned against the ongoing targeting of school students and children in the Gaza Strip, noting that the number of child martyrs has risen to five after the martyrdom of child Majd Hassan, despite the deteriorating security and protection situation in the region. It emphasized that the killing of children represents a severe humanitarian and educational loss and threatens their rights to life and education, especially as students are exposed to danger while heading to or returning from school, which heightens concerns for their safety. The ministry called on the international community, including the United Nations and UNICEF, to shift from monitoring to taking field and legal measures to protect children and enable them to access their schools safely, while documenting violations and holding those responsible accountable under international law. The ministry also demanded genuine protection for children and their educational facilities, reaffirming that the right to education is closely linked to the right to life, and that protection is a fundamental condition for the continuation of the educational process and the future of children.
