US Strike Near Iranian Hospital Endangers Children Undergoing Cancer Treatment

US missile strikes caused heavy damage to a children’s cancer hospital in the Iranian city of Ahvaz, forcing the emergency evacuation of young patients, according to Iranian media.

Iranian news agencies Fars, Tasnim, and SNN reported that several US missiles landed near Shahid Baghaei Hospital, a medical centre that specializes in treating children with cancer.

Hospital officials quickly contacted the families of children receiving treatment and asked them to remove their children from the hospital to ensure their safety.

The hospital was temporarily evacuated, and families were seen outside carrying their children as they waited in a safe area.

Iranian media said the missile strikes placed the lives of children receiving cancer treatment at serious risk.

According to Iranian claims, the hospital was damaged during the latest wave of US attacks on Iran.
