Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital evacuated after explosions nearby, WHO says

Recent explosions in Tehran have prompted the evacuation of Gandhi Hospital, raising concerns about safety and the state of emergency medical facilities in the region. The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently investigating reports of damage to Motahari Hospital in Tehran and emergency centers in Sarab, located in northwestern Iran, as well as another facility in Hamadan province. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by healthcare institutions in conflict-affected areas. The WHO's efforts to verify the extent of the damage and ensure medical services remain operational are critical in the aftermath of the explosions, which are part of the larger backdrop of escalating tensions and violence in the region.
