Seven medical centres were targeted during Israel's 12-day attack on Iran, which ended with a ceasefire earlier this week.

Six of these were in Tehran and one in the west of the country.

Valiasr Hospital, Motahari Burn Center, Khatam Hospital, Tehran’s Welfare Center, Red Crescent Rehabilitation Center, and the Red Crescent Peace Building in Tehran, along with Farabi Hospital in Kermanshah in western Iran, were attacked, resulting in the deaths of numerous medical staff, doctors and nurses.

According to Mohammad Raeiszadeh, the head of the Iranian Medical Council, the deaths of at least five doctors have been confirmed so far.

The Ministry of Health’s Crisis Information Center also said on Thursday, 26 June, that six healthcare workers were killed and 20 others injured.
