Irans new coronavirus death toll has risen by 92 to reach 4,869, Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur said in a statement on state TV on Thursday. Irans total number of cases of people infected with the new coronavirus has reached 77,995, Jahanpur said. Coronavirus outbreaks across the Middle East threaten to shatter the lives of millions of already destitute people in conflict zones, and could fuel socio-economic upheaval, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Thursday. The ICRC statement did not refer to Iran, which has the regions biggest outbreak, but a spokeswoman said it was supporting the Iranian Red Crescent society.
