Lebanon gripped by uncertainty over Iran-US ceasefire
"According to Lebanese health authorities, simultaneous Israeli strikes killed 303 people and injured 1,150 on Wednesday. Doctors Without Borders confirmed a mass influx of injured patients, including children, at Rafik Hariri Public Hospital in Beirut."
"The latest strikes between Israel and Hezbollah underscore the conflicting views over whether Lebanon is included in Tuesday's ceasefire between Iran and the United States. Iran says the deal includes Lebanon while the US and Israel say it doesn't."
"Since then, Israeli airstrikes and a limited ground invasion killed 1,888 people, according to Lebanese officials. Around 1.2 million Lebanese have been displaced."
Lebanon's national day of mourning did not stop rescue teams from searching for survivors in Beirut after Israeli strikes killed 303 and injured 1,150. The strikes have escalated the conflict, with 1,888 deaths reported since March. Around 1.2 million Lebanese are displaced. The situation is worsened by ongoing political and economic crises since 2019. Conflicting views exist regarding Lebanon's inclusion in a ceasefire deal between Iran and the US, with Hezbollah responding to Israeli actions by attacking northern Israel.
