"This attack shows that aggressors never comply with international agreements and humane rules. My message to the international community is that if they do not prevent such attacks, the whole community will become a victim of these acts. Our medical personnel, hospitals and patients are the victims of this non-compliance. More than 20 hospitals have been attacked and 10 medical personnel have died."

"Unfortunately, in this war we are witnessing that the Zionist regime and the U.S. army are attacking places that are supposed to be safe for people, such as schools and hospitals. Many hospitals have been damaged and some of our medical personnel have lost their lives. In some cases, hospitals had to transfer their patients. We are here to condemn this inhumane act."

Medical officials and workers on Saturday gathered in front of the Gandhi Hospital, which was severely damaged by U.S.-Israeli airstrike, to condemn the attacks that violate international agreements and humane rules.
The hospital in northern Tehran was damaged in a U.S.-Israeli strike on the night of March 1, and heavy casualties were caused.
"This attack shows that aggressors never comply with international agreements and humane rules. My message to the international community is that if they do not prevent such attacks, the whole community will become a victim of these acts. Our medical personnel, hospitals and patients are the victims of this non-compliance. More than 20 hospitals have been attacked and 10 medical personnel have died," said Mohammad Raeeszadeh, head of the Medical Council of Iran.
Health officials also urged that medical facilities and personnel should be protected under international humanitarian law, as several hospitals across Iran have been damaged since the escalation of hostilities.

Despite concerns about safety, many medical workers said that they will continue treating their patients.
"We know that we might also be attacked, but we are not afraid. We are standing firm to defend our homeland," said cardiologist Ali Madarshahi.
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, some of his family members, high-ranking military commanders, and civilians.
According to data released by the Iranian Red Crescent Society on Sunday, since the conflict began, U.S. and Israeli strikes have killed 1,332 people in Iran and damaged 9,669 civilian facilities, including around 7,943 homes and 1,617 commercial buildings.
