1 in 10 hospitals in Lebanon directly impacted The greater the blow to the health workforce, the weaker the longer-term ability of a country to recover from a crisis and deliver health care in a post-conflict setting Lebanon is a lower middle-income country with a fairly advanced health system that’s been hit hard by multiple crises in recent years. After hostilities in Lebanon escalated in September 2024, the growing number of attacks on health have caused further strain on an already over-burdened system. Today, the country’s health system is under extreme duress, with 15 out of 153 hospitals having ceased to operate, or only partially functioning. Nabatieh, as an example, one of Lebanon’s 8 governorates, has lost 40% of its hospital bed capacity.
Hospitals are already under massive strain as they deal with an unprecedented influx of injuries, while trying to sustain essential services.
A growing number of health facilities have had to shut down across #Lebanon, due to intense bombardment, insecurity, and evacuation orders.

WHO and partners evacuated six patients - three children and three adults - and seven companions from #Gaza to #Jordan. Two patients will be further transferred to the United States, while 4 will remain in Jordan for specialised care.
