Lebanon health ministry tells hospitals in south, east to scrap all non-urgent surgeries

Lebanon’s health ministry tells hospitals in the south and east to halt all non-urgent surgery in order to handle the wounded from widening Israeli strikes against the Hezbollah terror group.

The ministry “asks all hospitals” in south and east Lebanon districts “to stop all non-essential surgery in order to make space to treat the wounded due to the expanding Israeli aggression on Lebanon,” a statement says.

Yesterday, Israel’s Health Ministry ordered all hospitals in the north of the country to move patient care to reinforced areas, with non-urgent procedures postponed.
