The Iranian Red Crescent Society has revealed a devastating toll of civilian casualties since the war began. The report highlights the deaths of hundreds of children and widespread destruction of critical infrastructure.

According to the Iranian Red Crescent, at least 204 children have been killed since the conflict began. Among them, 53 children were under the age of five, underscoring the severe human cost of the war.

The report also confirmed that two pregnant women were killed in the attacks.

The Red Crescent strongly condemned the targeting of civilians, particularly vulnerable groups.

“When children and pregnant mothers are targeted, this is no longer a military incident, but rather a sign of a serious violation of human dignity,” the organisation said.
