"After two weeks of war in Iran, hundreds of people have been killed, millions more displaced and billions of dollars have been spent. The war's devastation has spilled across the region, throwing it into upheaval and leaving many questioning when the conflict will end and how much more will be lost."
"Experts who spoke to NPR said the numbers below only reflect information available right now, and could be far greater as more details are released, especially in terms of long-term economic impacts and civilian casualties."
"More than 1,200 civilians have been killed in Iran according to the Iran Health Ministry, with at least 165 civilians killed in a strike on an Iranian school according to Iranian state media, while over 10,000 Iranians have been injured and up to 3.2 million temporarily displaced according to UNHCR and Iranian health officials."
After two weeks of conflict in Iran, the humanitarian and financial toll has been severe. Over 1,200 Iranian civilians have been killed, with an additional 165 deaths in a school strike. More than 10,000 Iranians are injured, and up to 3.2 million have been temporarily displaced. The conflict has extended beyond Iran's borders, affecting Lebanon with 773 deaths and 830,000 displaced, and impacting Israel, Gulf States, and U.S. forces with at least 13 American service members killed. Twenty-five Iranian hospitals have been damaged, with nine out of service. The U.S. has spent approximately $16.5 billion in the first 12 days of war. Experts note these figures may underestimate actual casualties and long-term economic impacts as information continues to emerge.
