The humanitarian toll of the escalating US-Iran conflict has come into sharp focus after Iranian authorities said a US strike damaged the child cancer treatment unit at Shahid Baghaei Hospital in Ahvaz, forcing the evacuation of young patients receiving chemotherapy. According to officials in Tehran, the strike impacted part of the hospital complex, prompting emergency medical teams to move children undergoing cancer treatment to safer facilities. The reported incident has intensified international concern over the impact of the conflict on civilian infrastructure and healthcare services. Iranian authorities also reported that fresh US strikes killed at least seven military personnel and left hundreds injured across multiple locations. Air defence systems were activated in several areas as the country responded to the latest wave of attacks. WATCH

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has disclosed that he was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer following a routine medical examination, confirming that he has since completed treatment and fully recovered. According to official statements, the diagnosis came after a post-surgery checkup linked to a procedure he underwent in December 2024 for an enlarged prostate. During follow-up testing, doctors identified a sub-centimeter malignant tumour. Medical reports confirmed that the cancer was detected at an early stage, with no signs of metastasis. Netanyahu subsequently underwent targeted radiation therapy over a period of more than two months. Officials now say the treatment resulted in the complete disappearance of the cancerous lesion.
