Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday called and spoke to two Gazan students enrolled for M.A. Linguistics at Kerala University.
The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) identified them as Faurath Al-Mosami and her husband, Samar.
A statement issued by the CMO said they lost their home and relatives to an Israeli air strike on Friday afternoon.
The Kerala government had invited them to participate in the week-long Keraleeyam fete in Thiruvananthapuram in November. The students were preparing to return to Kerala when the attack unfolded.
The Kerala University authorities, who received a communication from the students, informed the CMO of their plight, prompting Mr. Vijayan to call them.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
