Web desk: Lebanon’s Health Ministry has charged Israel with committing “multiple war crimes” in its attacks on medical personnel and the destruction of healthcare infrastructure.
This accusation follows a series of Israeli airstrikes that resulted in the death of a hospital director in northeastern Lebanon, along with the killing of five paramedics in the southern region.
Head of World Health Organization has called out for the immediate end of war to fighting at Gaza’s besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital after an Israeli drone attacked the facility and wounded four medical staff and two patients.
In Lebanon, at least 3,645 people have been killed and 15,355 wounded and 226 health workers and patients have been killed since the outbreak of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in October 2023.
Since October 7, 2023, the conflict in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 44,056 Palestinians, with 104,286 others reported injured. In Israel, approximately 1,139 individuals lost their lives due to the Hamas-led attacks on that day, and upwards of 200 people were taken captive.
