UNICEF is providing 167 metric tons of medical supplies for about 2 million people affected by the rapidly escalating conflict in Lebanon, especially women and children.

UNICEF has delivered 67 metric tons of medical supplies in the past three days by land and air routes. These supplies, procured through funding support from the United Kingdom, boost the resources available to health teams to sustain regular services and treat the rising number of people requiring medical assistance due to the conflict. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, 2,083 people have been killed in the past year, including more than 127 children. Most of these deaths have reportedly occurred in recent weeks.
