Lebanon's health system is under severe strain after nearly 9,000 people have been wounded in Israeli attacks since March, according to Al Jazeera reporting. Dozens of health facilities and ambulances have been hit during the period. More than 100 paramedics have been killed and hundreds of children are among those injured.
The cumulative toll has left hospitals and emergency medical services struggling to meet demand. Officials have reported widespread disruption to the country's ability to treat both new casualties and existing patients. The attacks have continued for months, producing a steady flow of wounded that has overwhelmed available resources in many areas.
Medical staff have worked to maintain operations despite damage to infrastructure and losses among personnel. Health officials continue to manage care for the injured while documenting the extent of damage to the medical system. No immediate resolution to the underlying conflict was reported.
