About
The WHO is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. It was established in 1948 with the aim of promoting health, keeping the world safe, and serving the vulnerable. Recently, the WHO has been responding to various global health crises, including the ongoing conflict in Iran, where it has warned about the health risks of 'black rain' caused by Israeli strikes on oil facilities. The organization has also been monitoring the impact of the war on civilians, particularly children and the elderly, who are at risk due to the damage to Iranian petroleum facilities. Additionally, the WHO has been tracking the environmental fallout from the conflict, which is expected to have major long-term consequences. The organization's warnings and responses highlight its role in promoting global health security and protecting vulnerable populations.
