WHO says 54 of health facilities shut in Lebanon amid Israeli attacks The World Health Organization said 49 primary healthcare centres and five hospitals in Lebanon have shut down as the US-Israeli war on Iran and its wider spillover in the region intensifies. In a post on X, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the closures followed evacuation orders and were severely limiting access to medical care. He warned that health systems across the region are under heavy strain more than 10 days into the escalation.
