The World Health Organization accelerated the delivery of urgent medical supplies to Lebanon on Sunday, attributing this to “preparedness to respond to any potential health crisis,” against the backdrop of the escalation of border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel.
The World Health Organization revealed, in a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Sky News Arabia, that two shipments arrived in Beirut on Sunday from the organization’s logistics center in Dubai, and include enough medicines, surgical supplies, and trauma to meet the needs of between 800 and 1,000 patients. And injured.
The organization indicated that the Lebanese Ministry of Health is currently working on identifying the hospitals that will receive these vital supplies.
The organization’s statement added: “The health system in Lebanon has been hit by a crisis as a result of the economic crisis, as there has become an acute shortage of specialized doctors, health workers, medicines, and medical equipment.”
The World Health Organization considered that if border clashes with Israel escalate in southern Lebanon, more civilians will be exposed to danger and will need immediate access to life-saving medical care.
The organization’s statement continued: “We are working with the Ministry of Health and health partners in Lebanon to enhance preparedness and readiness within the health system to respond to potential increases in infections due to escalation of violence. We support the Lebanese Ministry of Health in activating the Health Emergency Operations Center to facilitate improved coordination of responses to emergency situations at all levels.”
The organization stated, “In addition to prioritizing injury management, great attention will be directed toward ensuring the uninterrupted provision of basic health care services and providing psychological and social support.”
The statement concluded by saying: “The World Health Organization reiterates its call for the protection of civilians and health workers and, ultimately, an end to hostilities and violence.”
