Lebanese Health: Death toll from Israeli attacks exceeds 4300

The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported in its latest report that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks since last March 2 has risen significantly. The ministry stated that the number of fatalities reached 4332 people, while the number of injured reached 12236, highlighting the scale of the humanitarian tragedy Lebanon is experiencing due to the continuous military escalation.

Official sources clarified that these figures reflect the large human losses that have affected multiple geographical areas in the country as a result of Israeli raids and shelling. The ministry indicated that health institutions and hospitals are still operating at full capacity to accommodate the increasing number of injured, despite the severe challenges and pressures faced by the medical sector amid a lack of resources.

In a related context, medical teams and ambulance crews affirmed their continued performance of humanitarian duties in the affected areas, attempting to reach victims and provide necessary first aid. These efforts come at a time when infrastructure and public facilities are suffering severe damage, which hinders movement and complicates rescue operations in targeted sites.

Health authorities warned of the serious repercussions of continued military tension on the overall humanitarian situation in Lebanon, calling on the international community to intervene immediately. The ministry stressed the need to provide necessary protection for civilians and health facilities, and to ensure the safety of medical personnel working under the threat of continuous shelling to save lives.

Reports also indicated that the process of counting victims and documenting human and material losses is still ongoing in conjunction with rapid field developments. These measures aim to assess the extent of actual damage and identify urgent relief and medical needs for the most affected areas, to ensure that aid reaches those in need in a timely manner.

Lebanon is experiencing a state of comprehensive health alert amidst the ongoing aggression, as the ministry seeks to coordinate efforts with international organizations to secure essential medical supplies. Official data confirms that targeting basic facilities and services exacerbates the suffering of the population, and puts the health system to a difficult test amid the increasing numbers of injured and displaced.

This toll reflects the scale of the devastating human losses resulting from the Israeli attacks that targeted wide areas in the country.
