Lebanon’s Medical Infrastructure Strained by Devastating Israeli Assault

Islamic Relief Lebanon’s Sana Basim has characterized Israel’s assault on Lebanon as the most calamitous moment the country has faced.
With hospitals at breaking point, medical staff are working under extreme duress, according to Basim, who spoke with Al Jazeera. The repercussions of the attack, she cautioned, transcend the physical devastation.
“It’s not merely the physical damage that’s a concern,” Basim emphasized, “but the profound psychological toll it’s taking on the population.”
Many individuals forced to flee their homes have found themselves in a precarious situation in Beirut, having only recently relocated there a month prior. They are now confronted with yet another traumatic experience.
Government-run shelters have been established, but they are severely overcrowded, accommodating only a meager 12 to 15 per cent of the displaced population. Those left without a safe haven are being forced to seek refuge in mosques or makeshift camps by the sea.
