Red Crescent: Over 125,000 civilian facilities hit in Iran during war

More than 125,000 civilian facilities have been damaged or destroyed in the US-Israeli attacks across Iran, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) said on Friday.

Pirhussein Koliwand told Iranian state television that around 100,000 homes and at least 23,500 shops were hit during the five-week conflict.

A two-week ceasefire is currently in force, although there are fears the truce could break down over Israel's ongoing attacks in Lebanon.

In addition to residential and commercial areas, numerous other civilian facilities were also hit during the conflict, Koliwand said.

Around 339 medical facilities such as hospitals, pharmacies, emergency centres and laboratories were damaged in the airstrikes, he said.

Furthermore, 32 universities were hit while 857 buildings belonging to schools and other educational institutions were specifically targeted, Koliwand argued.
