GENEVA, March 5 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday that it has verified 13 attacks on health care in Iran and one in Lebanon amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
"Under international humanitarian law, health care must be protected and not attacked," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference. He added that WHO is working closely with its offices in affected countries to monitor the impact on health services and provide support when needed and requested.
