Lebanon’s Red Cross Chief Describes Devastating Conflict as a ‘War Without Boundaries’

In a somber tone, Antoine Zoghbi, the president of the Lebanese Red Cross, expressed his deep concern in his office at the Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital in Beirut, following Israel’s most intense assault on Lebanon since the conflict began in early March.
Zoghbi recounted the events of the previous night, his voice laced with frustration, as he spoke to Al Jazeera. “The unprovoked strikes caught us off guard, targeting multiple areas simultaneously,” he said. “Their aim was to inflict maximum damage and suffering, leaving a trail of pain in their wake.”
As the sole provider of blood supplies to Lebanon’s hospitals, the Lebanese Red Cross has issued a public appeal for blood donations. The urgent need for blood has arisen due to Israel’s relentless bombardment on Wednesday, which resulted in a staggering number of casualties, particularly in hospitals overwhelmed with patients.
Zoghbi noted that a significant number of people responded promptly to the call for blood donations in the aftermath of the attacks. “In times of crisis, the Lebanese people consistently demonstrate their resilience and solidarity,” he observed.
