The UN organization revealed that it has recorded 160 Israeli attacks on the health care system since the onset of Israel’s war on Lebanon, killing 241 and injuring around 300.

The World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Lebanon, Abdinasir Abubakar, stressed on Thursday the urgent need to restore health services in South and East Lebanon as one million people are returning to their homes following the ceasefire deal between Lebanon and Israel, Anadolu news agency reported.

At a press briefing in Geneva, Abubakar welcomed the ceasefire deal between Lebanon and Israel saying that it provides an “opportunity and critical window” to attend to the urgent humanitarian needs that resulted from the war.

“The scale of the healthcare challenge remains enormous, and from now until the next few months, we have to try to re-establish the health services in the conflict-affected areas,” Abubakar said, stressing that around one million people are moving back to the south and the east.
