The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised alarms regarding Israel's military operations targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, warning of potential health hazards for civilians in Iran and neighboring regions. With Israel aiming to strike over ten nuclear sites, WHO director Tedros Ghebreyesus highlighted both immediate and lasting environmental health impacts. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed radiation risks following attacks on the Natanz facility, noting existing contamination, and underscoring the necessity for careful monitoring and communications with Iranian authorities. Calls for peaceful resolutions to the escalating conflict have been made amid rising casualties, particularly among children.
WHO warns that escalating violence and bombing, particularly of nuclear sites, poses severe risks to civilian health and safety across Iran and the broader region.
Tedros Ghebreyesus called the violence 'extremely concerning,' highlighting the immediate and long-term health impacts on civilians.
The IAEA reported the bombing has caused both radiological and chemical contamination at the Natanz facility, raising alarm about environmental and health risks.
The IAEA insists it is monitoring Iran's nuclear facilities to assess the levels of radiation and contamination post-bombing.
