Tehran Psychiatric Hospital Shut Down After US-Israeli Strike
A psychiatric hospital in Tehran has stopped operating after damage from US-Israeli airstrikes. The Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital was hit by shrapnel from nearby strikes in southern Tehran, according to the hospital chief.
The Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital in Tehran is no longer able to treat patients after recent US-Israeli airstrikes in the area, the hospital's chief announced.
The hospital was not directly targeted but suffered damage from shrapnel when strikes hit nearby locations in southern Tehran. Iranian state media reported the facility can no longer function properly due to the damage to parts of the building.
Psychiatric hospitals treat people with serious mental health conditions who often need constant care and medication. Patients at these facilities are among the most vulnerable during conflicts because they may not be able to evacuate quickly or understand emergency situations.
The strike adds to growing concerns about civilian infrastructure being affected by the escalating military actions between the US, Israel, and Iran. Healthcare facilities are supposed to be protected under international law during conflicts.
Mental health patients in Iran's capital have lost access to psychiatric care during an already stressful time. This shows how military strikes can damage civilian healthcare, affecting vulnerable people who need ongoing treatment.
Details about patient evacuations and hospital repairs are still emerging.
