Palestinian ministry reports deaths of ten students and a teacher

The Palestinian education ministry reported ten student deaths and one teacher’s death in Gaza between October 18 and 24, according to a statement carried by WAFA on October 25. It attributed the deaths to gunfire and bombardment of residential areas and called for protection and accountability.

The list concerns members of the education community during a defined period. It is neither a count of every child killed in Gaza nor a tally confined to the statement’s publication day. Some deaths followed earlier injuries, making the injury date distinct from the date of death. That distinction helps readers understand the reported educational impact without expanding the figures beyond the ministry’s account.
