Press Releases

Hostilities continued despite the ceasefire extension announcement, with continued airstrikes and displacement orders affecting at least 14 new localities.

Despite the ceasefire, attacks on healthcare continue. Since the last reporting period, five incidents have been recorded, resulting in two deaths and ten injuries among healthcare workers.

Since the onset of hostilities on 2 March, a total of 155 attacks on health care have resulted in 104 deaths and 244 injuries among health-care workers.

The war in Lebanon, now under a fragile 10-day ceasefire, has had a devastating impact on Lebanon’s healthcare system and staff. Bombings by Israeli forces killed and injured people, while attacks on first responders and in the vicinity of hospitals put healthcare workers at risk, leaving many wounded and killed.

Hostilities across Lebanon continued during the reporting period, following the large‑scale airstrikes of 8 April and amid ongoing military operations in southern Lebanon, parts of the Bekaa and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Continued attacks on healthcare were reported during and following the deadliest day of the ongoing conflict on 8 April 2026, constituting a blatant violation of International Humanitarian Law and a clear breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2286, which mandates the protection of health personnel and facilities.

The hostilities which have been ongoing for close to one-month have already claimed the lives of 1,238 people in Lebanon, including most recently rescue workers, journalists and a UN peacekeeper.

Over the past week, hostilities intensified with continued strikes on civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of key bridges and transport roads in southern Lebanon, significantly restricting movement and humanitarian access.

On Monday, Nov. 10, at around 2 p.m., a drone attack occurred just outside our Hermel clinic, where men, women, children, and the elderly receive vital care. The attack, which took place only a few meters from our entrance and patient waiting areas, shattered glass at our clinic and caused panic among our patients and colleagues.

The Israeli military’s repeated unlawful attacks during the war in Lebanon on health facilities, ambulances and health workers, which are protected under international law, must be investigated as war crimes, Amnesty International said today.

918,769 people displaced within Lebanon back in their cadaster of origin while 115,234 people remain displaced outside their cadaster of origin as of 12 February.

This year represents an extremely precarious moment in Lebanon’s history, with crisis upon crisis affecting the country’s social, economic, and environmental stability.

As the 60-day cessation of hostilities entered its second month, complex humanitarian needs persist in Lebanon.
