Lebanon is now facing a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions, with mounting civilian casualties, mass displacement and extensive destruction of civilian infrastructure across the country.
Airstrikes continued across the country, including in Nabatieh, Bekaa, Baalbek, South Lebanon and Mount Lebanon governorates, and the number of casualties increased to 2,593 people killed and more than 12,000 injured since 8 October 2023, according to the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
The humanitarian crisis continues to deepen in Lebanon as a result of intense and wide-scale hostilities, marked by violent strikes especially in the areas of South Lebanon, Bekaa, and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
The Israeli military’s repeated strikes on the Hezbollah-affiliated financial institution al-Qard al-Hassan in Lebanon indicate deliberate attacks on civilian structures that amount to war crimes, Human Rights Watch said today.
The escalation in hostilities has forced five hospitals and 100 out of 207 primary health centers in Lebanon to close, 94 health workers have been killed in the line of duty.
Recognizing the critical need for effective logistics and supplies management, the World Health Organization (WHO) organized a one-day comprehensive training session for the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) warehouse management teams in Lebanon.
In the conflict-affected zone in southern Lebanon, half of the health clinics have closed and hospitals are evacuating due to structural damage or proximity to fighting.
A regional displacement crisis is unfolding in Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic and beyond, which will have serious implications for the region and its people.
The Israeli military’s targeting of branches of Qard al-Hassan, a non-profit financial association affiliated with Hezbollah, with over 30 branches across Lebanon, likely violates international humanitarian law and must be investigated as a war crime, Amnesty International said today.
Since the escalation of hostilities in mid-September 2024, displacement has dramatically increased from 110,000 between October 2023 and September 2024 to nearly 800,000 by 16 October 2024.
The number of internally displaced people (IDP) continued to rise since the intensity of the hostilities increased mid-September 2024, and many of them are displaced for the second time since 08 October 2023, the Gaza conflict spillover along Lebanon’s southern border.
The conflict in Lebanon continues to intensify, with Israeli airstrikes causing widespread destruction, including damage to Amel centers. Despite this, Amel's mobile medical units and field teams remain operational, providing essential services.
