Lebanon’s Healthcare System on Brink of Collapse Amid Israeli Strikes

The relentless bombardment of Lebanon by Israel has brought the country’s healthcare infrastructure to the precipice of collapse, with experts warning that the deliberate targeting of medical facilities is a calculated effort to drive residents out of the southern region.
A month into the latest escalation of hostilities, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reports that 53 medical personnel have been killed, 87 ambulances and medical centers have been destroyed, and five hospitals have been forced to shut down, leaving a gaping void in the delivery of essential medical care.
According to Luna Hammad, the Lebanon medical coordinator for Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the Israeli strikes and blanket evacuation orders have severed the lifeline of healthcare services, severely limiting the ability of medical professionals to provide critical care to those in need.
