Over 1,900 Dead in Iran Since Start of US-Israel Strikes: IFRC
More than 1,900 people have been killed and over 20,000 injured in Iran since the start of US and Israeli strikes, IFRC official Maria Martinez said, citing data from the Iranian Red Crescent.
Martinez provided the casualty figures during a statement on the escalating conflict, highlighting the toll based on reports from the Iranian Red Crescent, Iran's primary humanitarian organization.
The Iranian Red Crescent remains the only nationwide humanitarian organization operating amid the ongoing violence, continuing to deliver aid despite the challenges posed by the attacks.
The figures underscore the severity of the situation in Iran, where US and Israeli military actions have led to significant loss of life and injuries over recent weeks. Martinez emphasized the Red Crescent's critical role as the sole entity capable of providing widespread humanitarian assistance across the country.
No further details on the specific locations or nature of the strikes were provided in the statement, but the data reflects the cumulative impact since the conflict intensified.
