Beirut: World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed that 11 health workers at a governmental hospital in Lebanon were injured when the hospital was struck twice in recent days amid ongoing Israeli attacks on the country's health sector. Ghebreyesus stated that Tebnine Governmental Hospital, one of the busiest in southern Lebanon for casualty reception, sustained significant damage. The emergency department, along with essential equipment such as ventilators, monitors, stretchers, and ambulances, as well as the pharmacy and outpatient clinics, were affected.

According to Qatar News Agency, the WHO is providing support for emergency and urgent maintenance work based on priority needs, while hospital services continue operating under immense pressure. Ghebreyesus also highlighted that humanitarian access to southern Lebanon has been severely restricted, hindering support for health facilities and limiting the population's access to basic care.

A ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and the Israeli occupation, announced by US President Donald Trump, came into effect earlier today. Since the onset of the latest conflict last month, WHO has recorded 133 attacks on the health sector in Lebanon, resulting in 88 deaths and 206 injuries. Fifteen hospitals and seven primary healthcare centers have been damaged, while five hospitals and 56 primary healthcare centers have been forced to close.
