The World Health Organisation (WHO) has expressed concern over the “grave risks” to people’s health from the expanding conflict across the Middle East.

In a statement on X, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the threat of nuclear facilities being impacted was especially worrying. “All must be done to reduce any nuclear safety risk, which may affect people in the region.”

“Peace, as always, is the best medicine,” he added.
