Why it matters:
The scale of deployment highlights the extent of civilian impact from the Israeli-American war of aggression against Iran, as humanitarian agencies respond to widespread damage caused by the war.
The big picture:
The Red Crescent said it conducted 6,003 missions during the 40-day war.
Rescue teams extracted 7,250 people alive from under rubble in rapid-response operations.
The highest number of missions took place in Tehran, Hormozgan, and Bushehr.
What he’s saying:
“The Red Crescent entered the 40-day war with 110,000 operational forces and deployed them to incident sites in the shortest possible time.”
“During 6,003 missions, our teams rescued 7,250 people alive from beneath the rubble.”
Go deeper:
Iranian officials say the widespread targeting of civilian infrastructure reflects a pattern of violations during the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.
The Red Crescent has moved to compile international humanitarian documentation to present evidence of these incidents globally.
The scale of destruction has intensified calls for accountability and increased humanitarian support.
