KARACHI: Ten children and a teacher injured in the Army Public School attack in Peshawar landed in Karachi on Wednesday to seek further treatment at a private hospital.

The decision was taken by the Shuhada-o-Ghazi Forum, a representative body of the parents of those who lost their lives in the school attack, to send 35 children to the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi.

On Wednesday, ten students from Peshawar reported at the hospital, confirmed the AKUH’s media spokesperson.

He said the students were all male and in stable condition but they still needed treatment for their injuries.
