Lebanon's health ministry reported Friday that Israeli attacks in the country have resulted in 3,117 deaths and 13,888 injuries since October 2023. 💔 The figures highlight escalating violence in the region, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict.
The ministry's statement did not specify the breakdown between combatant and civilian casualties but emphasized the need for “urgent international attention.” Local hospitals and aid groups are reportedly overwhelmed, struggling to manage the influx of wounded.
This update comes amid rising tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border, which have intensified since hostilities flared regionally late last year. 🌍 Analysts warn the situation risks further destabilizing the Middle East, already grappling with overlapping crises.
No independent verification of the casualty numbers has been released. The UN and humanitarian organizations continue to call for de-escalation and safe access for aid delivery.
