Hospitals located in Beirut’s southern suburbs will be evacuated, according to the health ministry of Lebanon.
Hospitals in unaffected locations were warned not to accept non-urgent cases any longer.
This came following intense Israeli airstrikes in the region.
In order to make room for patients from hospitals in Beirut’s southern suburbs that will be evacuated due to the developments in the aggression, a ministry statement issued on Saturday urged hospitals that were not affected by Israeli strikes to “stop receiving non-emergency cases until the end of next week,” according to Agence France-Presse.
An updated strike toll has not yet been released by the health ministry.
