WHO chief warns of rising attacks on Iran’s healthcare facilities

The World Health Organisation has verified more than 20 attacks on healthcare facilities in Iran since March 1, in which at least nine people have been killed, including a member of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Al Jazeera writes.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said one of the strikes had hit the century-old Pasteur Institute in Tehran, as we’ve reported earlier, leaving it “rendered unable to continue delivering health services”, as well as a psychiatric hospital and a facility producing cancer and multiple sclerosis medicines.
