BEIRUT, (PIC)
Lebanese health minister Firas al-Abyad has said that 13 hospitals in the country have been completely or partially out of service as a result of the Israeli aggression, which has been escalating since last September.
“The Israeli occupation is repeating in Beirut what it has done in Gaza through targeting civilians and infrastructure,” minister Abyad said in press remarks on Tuesday.
The health minister affirmed that there is a lot of pressure on the health sector resulting from the Israeli aggression, adding that the Israeli attacks claimed the lives of 150 paramedics and health workers.
He stressed the need for a ceasefire in Lebanon, calling for more medical and humanitarian support for the country.
