WHO Sends 32 Tonnes Medical Supplies To Lebanon Amid War Speculations

Lebanon has received a substantial aid shipment of 32 tonnes of medical supplies and medicines from the World Health Organization (WHO). This donation aims to bolster the country’s health sector in preparation for potential escalations in regional conflict.

Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad received the aid at Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut. The WHO representative in Lebanon, Abdel Nasser Abu Bakr, was present for the handover.

Minister Abiad expressed his gratitude to the WHO for the vital support. He also urged the organization to apply pressure on Israel to cease its attacks, as reported by Xinhua news agency.

Abu Bakr stated that the medical supplies are intended to enhance Lebanon’s health sector and ensure the availability of necessary medical resources during times of crisis. He assured that the WHO would continue to support Lebanon’s health sector and its workers.

Lebanon has been on high alert following a recent escalation of violence. On July 30, an Israeli attack targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs, resulting in the deaths of Hezbollah senior military commander Fouad Shokor and seven civilians.

In response to the Israeli raid, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah has vowed a “definite and painful response” at a time and place of Hezbollah’s choosing. This ongoing tension has heightened the need for preparedness in Lebanon’s health sector.

The WHO’s assistance is crucial in strengthening Lebanon’s readiness to manage any further crises. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely as the region remains tense and volatile.
