Lebanon Prepares Health, Social Plan Amid War Risks


Lebanese political and diplomatic efforts to calm tensions between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon have not eased fears of a potential all-out war. This has led Lebanese ministries to prepare for the worst.

 

Firas Abyad, the Minister of Public Health in the caretaker government, stated that his ministry has activated a war emergency plan and increased readiness among medical teams.

 

The Ministry of Social Affairs has also developed strategies to mitigate the impact and respond if a conflict erupts.
