Eleven children in Gaza who were taking part in a program to recover from past trauma have been killed by Israeli airstrikes while sheltering in their homes, the Norwegian Refugee Council said Tuesday.
"They are now gone, killed with their families, buried with their dreams and the nightmares that haunted them," NRC Secretary-General Jan Egeland said in a statement.
The children, ages 5 to 15, had been taking part in the group's Better Learning Programme, designed to help youth "exposed to war and conflict in Palestine."
One set of Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza City killed eight of the students, according to NRC, including two siblings and their father, Dr. Ayman Abu al-Auf, who was head of internal medicine at a nearby hospital.
