WHO: 37 health centers closed in Lebanon due to Israeli aggression
The World Health Organization said that 37 out of 317 health centers in Lebanon were out of service after the Israeli occupation attacks that began on September 23.
This came in a post by the organization on the "X" platform, in which it stressed the necessity of not targeting medical facilities.
She reported that 37 health centers, out of 317 centers across Lebanon, have closed their doors and are no longer able to provide services.
“Access to health services is as vital as access to food, water and shelter,” she stressed.
Lebanese media reported that the majority of the closed medical centers are located in southern Lebanon.
Since Monday, the Israeli occupation has launched the "most violent and extensive" attack on Lebanon, resulting in more than 728 martyrs, including children and women, in addition to 2,658 wounded and about 390,000 displaced persons, according to official Lebanese authorities.
