US-Israeli aggression: 960 people rescued alive from under rubble in Tehran
The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) says it successfully rescued 960 people alive from under the rubble in Tehran caused by the US-Israeli airstrikes during the 40-day war of aggression against the country.
According to a report on Monday, the IRCS said its rescuers had carried out a total of 1,711 technical rescue and evacuation operations at the locations targeted by the US and Israel since the beginning of the imposed war on February 28.
The report noted that 125,630 non-military units, including 100,000 residential units and some 24,000 commercial units, have been damaged across the country due to the terrorist attacks.
A number of these units have been destroyed completely and some others have sustained serious damage, it said.
The IRCS added that supporting documentation has been collected and being completed to be presented to international bodies to precisely record and follow up on different aspects of the US-Israeli crimes.
It further noted that 339 medical centers, including hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, health centers, and emergency units, have been targeted during the war. Some were temporarily taken out of service, while others resumed operations immediately.
Head of Iran’s Emergency Organization Majid Miadfar said in a statement on Sunday that at least 258 women and 221 under the age of 18 have been martyred in US-Israeli assaults during their war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
He added that a total of 18 children under the age of five have also been killed in the bloody onslaught.
The United States and Israel initiated an unprovoked military campaign against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
The aggression has comprised a series of intensive strikes on both military installations and civilian facilities throughout Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, Iranian Armed Forces carried out waves of retaliatory missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
