AI Summary

short article 2 min

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported over 20 attacks on Iranian healthcare facilities since March 1st. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed concern over these "multiple attacks" in Tehran, including significant damage to the Pasteur Institute, a vital research and health facility. While the Iranian Ministry of Health claims the Pasteur Institute's services remain uninterrupted, the WHO highlights the Institute's crucial role in public health, especially during emergencies. Recent US-Israeli strikes have reportedly expanded beyond military targets to include health, education, and transport infrastructure. The Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital and the Tofigh Daru pharmaceutical facility were also damaged in these attacks, though no casualties were reported.
