Lebanon's healthcare network under systematic Israeli attacks


Israeli forces have continued to launch strikes on targets across Lebanon as part of a relentless bombing campaign that escalated on September 23.

Since then, four hospitals in southern Lebanon have been forced to close due to Israeli bombings and supply shortages.

Marjayoun Governmental Hospital and Salah Ghandour Hospital were struck, killing seven and wounding 14 healthcare workers.

Meanwhile, Mays al-Jabal Hospital was forced to close due to a lack of essential supplies like medical materials, electricity, and water.

Israel's bombings have also caused many doctors and healthcare workers to flee, creating gaps in Lebanon’s fragile healthcare system, which was already weakened by years of economic crisis.
