Israeli attack on Lebanon

Emergency workers in Lebanon, particularly from the Civil Defence, report being specifically targeted by Israeli forces, with over 40 ambulances and 24 rescue stations destroyed. In the last three days alone, more than 40 rescuers and firefighters have died, raising the total to 97 since fighting escalated last October, while overall casualties in Lebanon have surpassed 1,974, including many children. The World Health Organization has highlighted the dangerous conditions for healthcare workers, with 28 fatalities reported in just 24 hours due to Israeli airstrikes. The situation has further deteriorated with a tragic attack on a Red Cross convoy that resulted in multiple injuries and a soldier's death. Local responders face dire shortages of equipment and resources amid an ongoing economic crisis and political instability in Lebanon. Despite the risks, emergency workers vow to continue their efforts, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian assistance in the beleaguered region.
