The attack on the army-run public school in Peshawar that took place on December 16 has claimed the lives of 141 children and nine staff. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was an act of revenge for recent army operations against militants in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal areas. The act of violence against Pakistani children has been condemned by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
