ISTANBUL

Damage suffered by a psychiatric hospital in Iran's capital Tehran due to US and Israeli attacks was captured by the lenses of Anadolu.

The Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital was damaged in recent airstrikes carried out by the US and Israel in southern Tehran.

In the attacks, some rooms of the hospital became completely unusable, while administrative offices were also damaged.

Hospital staff are working intensively to repair the damage and reopen the affected treatment rooms.

Clinic director Muhammed Asgari told Anadolu that the attacks took place across from the clinic, with the force of the explosion and shrapnel causing damage to the facility.

Asgari said that all the hospital’s windows and doors were shattered, and that patients were transferred to another building after the attacks.

Emphasizing that they are working under very difficult conditions, Asgari noted that they had been preparing to expand the hospital before the war, but that this is no longer possible under the current circumstances.

Asgari said that 30 patients were being treated at the hospital, but that they were in a different location at the time of the attacks, adding: “If the patients had been inside the building during the attacks, we could have faced a much worse situation.”
