South lebanon: Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon have killed at least 11 people, in what local authorities describe as the largest escalation since the June agreement. Speaking to FRANCE 24, Pierre Catoire, an emergency doctor working in the area, described a deteriorating humanitarian situation, saying some doctors lost their homes in Saturday's strikes and healthcare workers are increasingly worried that hospitals could also be targeted. He said the most common injuries are blast and compression wounds, while doctors are also concerned about infections, as well as the long-term psychological impact on civilians.
According to France24.com, the escalating violence has left local communities in distress, with healthcare facilities struggling to cope with the rising number of casualties. The strikes have not only caused immediate physical harm but have also disrupted the lives of medical professionals, many of whom are now without homes and working under immense pressure to provide care in increasingly dangerous conditions.
The potential targeting of hospitals has heightened fears among healthcare workers, prompting concerns over the safety of both patients and medical staff. The situation has become increasingly dire, with medical teams working tirelessly to address both the physical and psychological needs of those affected by the conflict. The long-term impact on the mental health of civilians, particularly children, remains a growing concern for professionals on the ground.
