The World Health Organisation (WHO) says it has verified 190 attacks on health care facilities and personnel in Lebanon over the past three months, warning that the country’s health system is coming under growing strain amid escalating violence, Anadolu.

Abdinasir Abubakar, WHO representative to Lebanon, tells reporters in Geneva that more than 3,400 people have been killed and nearly 10,400 injured since the latest Israeli escalation began in March.

“These have been among the deadliest months for Lebanon since the start of the conflict in October 2023,” the representative states, noting that the attacks on health care have killed 128 health workers and injured 332 others.

“Not only do these attacks kill and maim, they also deprive people of the health services they need, when they need them most,” Abubakar says.
