China Announces $200K Donation for Iran School Strike Victims’ Families

China Announced Donation for Iran – (Web Desk) – China announced on Friday that it will give $200,000 to help the parents of students who were killed in a missile strike on a school in Iran. Chinese officials described the attack as an indiscriminate strike that happened early in the Middle East war.

Iran says the missile attack was carried out by the United States and Israel on the first day of the conflict. The strike hit a school in southern Iran and caused heavy loss of life.

Iranian media reported that funerals were held for at least 165 people who died in the attack. Many of the victims were children. However, the number has not been confirmed by independent sources. The United States military has started an investigation into the incident.

China’s Foreign Ministry said the Chinese Red Cross Society will send the $200,000 to the Iranian Red Crescent Society. The money will be used to support and compensate the parents of the students who lost their lives.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun strongly criticized the attack. He said strikes on schools and children break international humanitarian law. He also said such attacks cross the basic limits of human conscience and morality.

“China stands ready to continue providing necessary assistance to Iran in a humanitarian spirit to support the Iranian people through this difficult time,” he said.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that the US military investigation has determined that a US Tomahawk missile had struck the school because of a targeting mistake.

Israel has denied any involvement in or knowledge of the strike.

AFP has been unable to access the location to independently verify the circumstances of the strike or the toll.

US President Donald Trump initially suggested that Iran itself may have been responsible, even though Iran does not have Tomahawk missiles.

He said later he could “live with” whatever the investigation reveals but, when asked about the Times report on Wednesday, he told reporters: “I don’t know about it.”
