Israel has killed at least 208 health sector workers and carried out more than 280 attacks on emergency medical facilities in Lebanon over the past year.

The Israeli military is repeatedly targeting healthcare facilities and medical workers in Lebanon. As of November 15, Israel has killed at least 208 health sector workers and injured 311 others according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. The ministry also recorded at least 286 Israeli attacks on healthcare services, including 66 attacks on hospitals and 220 on emergency medical services. As a result, some 40 hospitals have been damaged, with eight rendered nonfunctional, and 249 emergency vehicles have been damaged, in what human rights organisations say constitutes potential war crimes. The attacks are forcing medical facilities to close, in a country where the privatised healthcare system was already in dire straits due to an ongoing economic crisis. Understaffed and under-resourced, the health system has been struggling to maintain services for all those in need, struggling with depleted supplies and exhausted health workers.
