Iranian hospitals forced to cease operations after U.S.-Israel airstrikes
Nine hospitals in Iran have stopped operating following airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel, according to reports on Tuesday.
The Iranian news agency, Iranian Labour News Agency, cited lawmaker Mohammad Jamalian, a member of the health commission in Iran’s parliament, as saying.
He said the attacks had significantly damaged parts of the country’s healthcare system.
Jamalian said that since the start of the current war, 18 emergency departments and 25 health centres have also been damaged, while 14 ambulances have been destroyed.
He added that Iran’s strategic reserves of medicines were expected to last for at least six months if the conflict continued, though shortages of some drugs have already been reported.
Hospitals across the country have suspended non-essential procedures, including cosmetic surgeries, until further notice.
Medical facilities are now prioritising the treatment of war-related injuries and other urgent cases.
According to Jamalian, around 1,400 injured people are currently being treated as inpatients nationwide.
