Recent Israeli airstrikes have killed at least five paramedics in southern Lebanon amid the raging battles between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters. The situation remains precarious as the conflict escalates steadily.
In Gaza, health officials have issued a dire warning that all hospitals may be forced to cease operations or reduce services drastically within the next 48 hours because of a critical shortage of fuel. They blame Israel for hindering the entry of basic supplies.
The State of Palestine welcomed an International Criminal Court decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, as “restoring hope” in the application of international law.
Ongoing violence in Gaza has killed at least 44,056 Palestinians and injured 104,286 since the conflict reignited on October 7, 2023. During those initial Hamas-led attacks on that date, an estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel, with more than 200 individuals reportedly taken captive.
The Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon are no exception, as since the outbreak of hostilities in Gaza, Lebanon accounted for at least 3,583 deaths and 15,244 injured. As more victims pile up on both sides, the humanitarian crisis has pushed its limits even further.
