China Pledges $200,000 Aid to Families of Students Killed in Iran School Strike
China announced it will provide $200,000 in emergency humanitarian aid to the families of schoolchildren killed during recent attacks in Iran.
The Red Cross Society of China will send the funds to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun specified that the aid targets families of the students killed in the conflict. He condemned attacks on civilians and urged the protection of non-combatants.
Iranian media reported that a girls’ school in Hormozgan province was struck during joint attacks by the United States and Israel, with more than 160 students killed. Independent verification of these reports has not been confirmed.
The announcement comes amid escalating military exchanges between Iran and its regional rivals, including U.S. rocket and airstrikes on Iran-linked positions in parts of the Middle East.
China has called for restraint and dialogue among Iran, the United States and Israel, warning that further escalation could destabilize the Middle East and worsen humanitarian conditions.
