Esra Farahi-Zadeh

Esra Farahi-Zadeh died as a result of a devastating air strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, Iran. The attack occurred while children were inside the school, leading to a high number of casualties. Reports indicate that after an initial strike, a second missile hit an area where students and staff had gathered for safety, significantly increasing the number of deaths.

Esra Farahi-Zadeh lost her life in a large-scale aerial attack that struck her school during a time when students were gathered inside. Following the first missile strike, teachers and school staff attempted to protect the children by moving them to a prayer hall. However, a second missile reportedly struck that same location, where survivors had taken shelter. This “double tap” pattern of attack caused catastrophic casualties, as those who had initially survived were exposed to another explosion. The combined effects of blast waves, falling debris, and the destruction of the school building resulted in fatal injuries for many, including Esra.
