WHO warns of overstretched Lebanese health system after Israeli attacks


BERLIN, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Lebanon's health system remains impacted and overstretched by a new escalation of violence in the country, the World Health Organisation said on Monday, warning that displaced people were at increased risk of diseases.
 
Some 118,466 new displacements have taken place between Sept. 23 and 27, the UN agency said in a situation report, as Israel continues to carry out airstrikes on targets in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon.
