Lebanon's health care system is bracing for the potential of a wider conflict with Israel, as tensions have escalated following recent strikes between Israel's military and Hezbollah. The country's caretaker government is making preparations despite facing challenges such as a depleted budget, a divided parliament, and the absence of a president.
The health minister highlighted the adjustments made by the Lebanese health system to cope with multiple crises, including keeping critical supplies stocked for up to four months. The hope is that these emergency preparations will not be needed, and that a broader conflict can be avoided.
