The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pirhossein Kolivand, stated that more than 18,000 civilians have been injured and tens of thousands of civilian structures have been damaged in the ongoing US-Israeli attacks across the country, according to Iranian state media.
Kolivand described the nearly three-week-long attacks as “terrorist attacks” by enemy forces, as quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). Kolivand said 204 children have been killed, including 53 under the age of five.
He called the casualty figures "shocking", adding that more than 3,200 women were injured and that two pregnant women were among the killed.
Iran's UN ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, said on March 10 that at least 1,332 Iranian civilians have been killed in the war with Israel and the United States. Authorities have not updated the official death toll since then.
Kolivand also said that more than 70,000 civilian structures, including homes, shopping malls, schools and key infrastructure, were damaged between March 3 and March 17.
He said the attacks also hit essential services, with 251 medical centers, 498 schools and 17 Red Crescent facilities reported damaged.
