A dire situation is unfolding at Beirut’s hospitals, where medical staff are facing a daunting challenge as a result of the Israeli military’s relentless assault on the city and its surroundings. The sheer scale of the devastation has left healthcare facilities struggling to cope with the influx of casualties.
As the Israeli air campaign intensified on Wednesday, hundreds of people poured into the American University of Beirut hospital, seeking urgent medical attention after the military bombed over 100 targets across Lebanon within a 10-minute timeframe, despite a widely anticipated ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran that was expected to encompass Lebanon.
According to Dr Salah Zeineldine, AUB’s chief medical officer, the hospital received approximately 76 injured individuals within the span of an hour, with six patients succumbing to their injuries. The hospital has since become a focal point for victims of the Israeli attacks, with Zeineldine describing it as an “epicentre” of chaos.
The death toll from Israel’s aerial assault on Lebanon on Wednesday has now surpassed 303, with a staggering 1,150 people injured, as per a preliminary report released by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health on Thursday.
Zeineldine highlighted the disproportionate impact of the attacks on children, with many critically injured patients at the AUB hospital being minors. The oldest child among them was 12 years old, while two patients were rushed to the ICU – a few-months-old baby and another just a few weeks old.
