"In under an hour, we received around 76 injured people. Unfortunately, six people didn't make it, Dr Salah Zeineldine, AUB's chief medical officer, told Al Jazeera, as the hospital became an epicentre for victims of the Israeli attacks."
"The death toll from Israel's attacks across Lebanon on Wednesday has now risen to 303, with 1,150 injured, according to a preliminary toll released Thursday by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health."
"Dr Zeineldine noted that a lot of critically injured patients at AUB Hospital were children. The eldest child was 12 years old, while the two patients who had to go directly to the ICU were babies: one a few months old, another only a few weeks old."
"This intensity is not something we've ever experienced. It was a big challenge for us, in Beirut especially. We've never lost this many people in a single day."
Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have led to a rising death toll, with 303 reported dead and over 1,150 injured. The American University of Beirut Hospital has become a critical care center, receiving a surge of injured individuals, including many children. Medical staff report unprecedented challenges, with a high number of casualties in a single day. The Lebanese Health Ministry indicates that many victims were crushed by debris from bombed buildings. This escalation marks a severe crisis in a region already familiar with conflict.
