Lebanon Under Siege: WHO Warns of Hospital Crisis Amid Ongoing Israeli Strikes

Israeli airstrikes have persisted into the night, targeting various regions in southern Lebanon, including Sidon and Nabatieh, as well as a car struck by a drone. Meanwhile, a surveillance drone hovered above the capital for an extended period, prompting the Israeli military to issue a fresh evacuation order for the southern suburbs of Beirut, specifically the Jnah district. This area, home to two hospitals, has become a focal point of concern for the World Health Organisation, which has highlighted the dire situation at these facilities. With 450 patients in need of urgent care and no alternative medical options available, the hospitals are operating at maximum capacity. The crisis is further exacerbated by the fact that hospitals across Lebanon are already overwhelmed, struggling to cope with the influx of over 1,000 injured individuals from Israel’s strikes on Wednesday. As the death toll remains uncertain, the situation continues to deteriorate.
