Lalitpur (Nepal), Oct 10 (ANI): Dozens of students held a candlelight vigil on the premises of Patan Durbar Square here commemorating the 10 Nepali students killed by Hamas in Israel. The members of the Nepal Student Union observed a minute of silence on Monday, lit candles while they stood in line holding banners and placards that read "Heartfelt condolence" and "Pray for World Peace" and called for prompt rescue of remaining Nepali citizens trapped in Israel. The 10 Nepali students who were flown to Israel under the "Learn and Earn" scheme of the Israeli Government fell victim to the attack of the Hamas terror group. The Nepal Embassy in Tel Aviv late on Sunday evening confirmed the death of Nepali citizens as well as stated some were in critical condition and some were missing. According to the Foreign Minister of Nepal, 265 more Nepali students are enrolled in a study and employment program in Israel, which is funded by the Israeli government, while 4500 more Nepalis are employed as carers there. 17 of the 49 students from Sudur Paschim University were studying in Kibbutz Alumim, located in southern Israel close to border areas with Gaza. The Foreign Minister in his address had mentioned 10 students to be out of contact who by late evening were confirmed dead. Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Nepali students in Israel have been rescued and the process of relocating them to safety has already begun. Further, the Prime Minister announced the sending of flights to evacuate nationals from Israel which has been under surprise terrorist attack since Saturday (October 7).
