The World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted that it is preparing for a potential nuclear incident amid escalating war between US-Israel and Iran, CNN reported.
The organization says it is maintaining heightened vigilance and is readying emergency response measures in case the situation worsens. Preparations include planning for worst-case scenarios such as a nuclear strike or an attack on nuclear facilities.
WHO said it has begun updating internal protocols and guidance for staff, focusing on how to respond to radiation exposure and other long-term health risks associated with nuclear events. The agency emphasized that such incidents could have lasting global consequences.
The alert comes as military strikes on Iranian targets continue, heightening concerns about further escalation. While officials stress that no nuclear incident has occurred, they warn that the risk cannot be ignored given the ongoing hostilities.
