Geneva. Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Ervani, has claimed that 1,332 civilians have died so far in the American and Israeli attacks on Iran since February 28. He said that a large number of women and children were also among the dead. Erwani gave this information while talking to journalists at the UN Headquarters in New York on Friday. According to him, thousands of people have been injured in these attacks and the number of injured is continuously increasing. He alleged that schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure were being deliberately targeted during the attacks. He said that these attacks have caused huge losses to civilians and the humanitarian situation is grave in many areas.
According to Erwani in media reports, more than 150 girl students died in a recent attack on a girls’ school in Iran. Concern is being expressed at the international level regarding this incident. However, America has rejected these allegations and said that it did not deliberately target any civilian structure. The American side says that an investigation will be conducted into the attack on the girls’ school.
On the other hand, Israel has also accused Iran of targeting its citizens. Amidst the increasing military tension in the region, the situation is becoming more complicated due to allegations and counter-allegations from both sides. Experts believe that due to increasing attacks and increasing casualties, the concern of the international community is also increasing. Many global organizations including the United Nations are emphasizing on efforts to reduce tension and restore peace in the region.
