The Israeli army has killed more than 15,000 Palestinian children in its eight-month-long war on Gaza, mostly students, the Palestinian education ministry said on Tuesday.
At least 64 more pupils were killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in the same period.
According to the ministry, the Israeli war on Gaza has deprived 620,000 schoolchildren and 88,000 university students of education in the past year.
The ministry urged international rights groups to put an end to the violence against Palestinian children, according to news agency Wafa.
