The World Health Organization reported that Israeli forces killed 28 health care workers in Lebanon in just the past day, highlighting the severe impact of ongoing violence on health services.
The health system is under immense strain due to ongoing airstrikes, with 40 health centers and two hospitals forced to close, crippling the provision of essential medical care.
Many health workers are not reporting to duty as they fled the areas where they work due to bombardments, severely limiting the provision of mass trauma management and continuity of health services.
With Lebanon's airport almost completely closed, WHO leader Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned of a potential shortage of medical supplies, exacerbating the health crisis amid ongoing violence.
