World Health Organization says it has verified 13 attacks on Iranian healthcare sites

The director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Ghebreyesus, says they have verified “13 attacks on healthcare in Iran, and one in Lebanon” since the start of the war, the BBC reports.

He did not state who was responsible or provide further details.

On Monday, Fatemeh Mohammad Beigi, a member of the Iranian Parliament Health Commission, said that nine hospitals were hit in Iran, accusing Israel and the US of targeting them.

The IDF has responded to allegations of targeting Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital, saying the attack “was not targeted at the hospital”.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said yesterday: “The United States armed forces do not target civilians.”

Israel has said it is targeting military assets with “precision” to protect civilians.
