The Lebanese Ministry of Health has released updated statistics regarding the ongoing tensions and military strikes in the country. According to the latest official statement, the death toll from strikes carried out by the Israeli military across various regions of Lebanon since March 2 has reached 4,257 people. The total number of injured is reported to be 12,196.
According to the ministry, significant civilian casualties have been recorded during the confrontations that have persisted from March 2 to June 29. The data indicates that the fatalities include 253 children and 391 women.
The humanitarian situation in the region is reportedly deteriorating, with the healthcare system struggling to cope with the increasing burden of casualties and infrastructure damage. The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued further warnings regarding the situation in the region. The organization has emphasized the growing risk of infectious disease outbreaks and has called for urgent humanitarian and health interventions to stabilize the crisis.
This escalation is part of a broader, long-standing conflict in the Middle East, which has frequently seen cross-border hostilities. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, as the humanitarian impact on the civilian population remains a primary concern for global aid organizations operating in the region.
