Iran said Wednesday that at least 206 people under the age of 18 have been killed and 1,401 others injured in US-Israeli attacks since late last month.
In a statement, Iran's Health Ministry said that 227 women are among those killed and 3,329 others were injured in the attacks since Feb. 28.
It added that 1,111 injured people are currently hospitalized, while 19,506 others have been treated and discharged.
The ministry, however, did not give an overall death toll in the ongoing US-Israeli offensive.
According to the statement, 18 health care workers were killed and 101 others injured in the attacks, which also damaged 36 ambulances.
It noted that six hospitals were evacuated, while 47 emergency bases, 37 medical centers, and 180 health centers sustained damage.
Hostilities have raged rage since Israel and the US launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, so far killing around 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
