Lebanon's Health System Stretched Amid Renewed Violence

Lebanon's health system faces significant strain due to renewed violence, according to the World Health Organisation. Increased displacements have heightened the risk of disease among the population. Over 118,000 new displacements occurred between Sept. 23 and 27 as airstrikes continue.

Lebanon's health system is under considerable pressure due to a recent surge in violence, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported on Monday. The ongoing conflict has left displaced individuals more susceptible to disease outbreaks.

According to the WHO's situation report, an estimated 118,466 new displacements were recorded between September 23 and 27. The displacements come as Israel continues its airstrikes on targets in Beirut and other regions of Lebanon.

The worsening situation calls for urgent attention to prevent a health crisis amid the escalating violence.
