Mohsen and Firouzeh have been trying to have a child for years and recently turned to IVF, using a clinic at Tehran’s Ghandi hospital.
“The hospital staff worked so hard to help us,” Mohsen says. “After 10 years of trying, we finally had hope.”
But on Sunday, the second day of a devastating US-Israeli bombing campaign on Iran, a strike hit the prominent private hospital, reportedly causing “very serious damage” to its fertility clinic.
Mohammad Hassan Bani Asad, the head of Gandhi hospital, told local media that one staff member suffered serious wounds, including brain bleeding, and had to undergo surgery.
“Now, after hearing about the attack on the IVF section, we feel like we are losing our minds,” says Firouzeh.
