GENEVA, March 4 (Reuters) - A committee of UN experts said on Wednesday it was “deeply disturbed” by the deaths of children amid escalating violence across the Middle East, particularly the bombing of a girls school in Iran.

The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab in southern Iran was hit on Saturday, the first day of U.S. and Israeli attacks against the country. It killed 160 children, UN experts stated.
