The Health Ministry says 7,656 people have been admitted to hospitals since the beginning of the Iran war on February 28.

Of them, 114 are currently hospitalized. Two are in critical condition, 13 are in serious condition, 32 are in moderate condition, and one is in good condition. The casualty figures include soldiers and civilians.

The ministry does not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries. Some were indirect, such as people injured while trying to reach shelters, rather than as a direct result of missile fire.
