The WHO stated that ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and surrounding regions pose health risks in many countries. It noted that recent attacks on power plants and industrial zones where chemicals are used or stored have already revealed the effects of chemical incidents.

The WHO warned that such incidents may cause various health problems, including irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, as well as headaches, dizziness, and nausea.

The statement also indicated that vomiting, muscle twitching, bronchoconstriction, and stress on mental health may occur, while in severe cases there is a risk of respiratory failure, seizures, coma, and death. Children, the elderly, and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to such health risks.

The WHO emphasized that it is working with countries to prepare for chemical, biological, nuclear, or radiological events, highlighting the importance of training and protecting healthcare workers in such situations. The statement also called on all parties to strive for peace, noting that this is crucial for the health and well-being of everyone.
