The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has deplored the Israeli strike on a Lebanese civil defence centre where “at least 12 paramedics were killed”, saying such attacks “are becoming the new normal”.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said that Israeli attacks killed 59 people and wounded another 182 across the country over the previous 24-hour reporting period.
Israel’s siege of northern Gaza continues as the territory’s Health Ministry reports that 28 Palestinians were killed and 120 injured in the past day.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,764 Palestinians and wounded 103,490 since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 3,445 people have been killed and 14,599 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
