March 28 (Reuters) – The World Health Organization said on Saturday that nine paramedics were killed and seven others wounded in five separate attacks on health care in southern Lebanon.
The latest incidents struck medical teams in five separate villages, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a social media post.
He added that the repeated strikes have severely disrupted health services in southern Lebanon. Four hospitals and 51 primary healthcare centres are now closed, with several other facilities operating at reduced capacity, he said.
