The head of Iran’s Emergency Medical Services Organisation has provided statistics on the impact of the US-Israeli war on Iran’s healthcare system, according to Al Jazeera.
They say that at least 24 healthcare workers have been killed while providing services during the war, as medical staff and infrastructure come under sustained attack. Others across the health sector, including doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff working in medical and food services, make up the remaining victims.
The emergency services chief added that at least 114 healthcare workers have also been injured, with 74 first responders wounded at the scene while treating war casualties.
Additionally, more than 330 healthcare facilities have been damaged during the assaults, while one rescue helicopter has also been destroyed in what were described as US-Israeli attacks, they added.
