ministère de la santé libanais

The Lebanese Ministry of Health is the governmental body responsible for public health services in Lebanon. It has recently been thrust into the spotlight due to the escalating conflict in the region. Following devastating Israeli airstrikes on April 8, 2026, the Ministry of Health has been actively involved in reporting casualty figures and coordinating responses. According to their latest reports, these attacks resulted in at least 203 deaths and over 1,000 injuries. The ministry's role is crucial in documenting the human toll of the conflict and, by extension, highlighting the immense pressure on Lebanon's healthcare infrastructure as hospitals in Beirut, like Makassed, are overwhelmed with casualties. Their updates provide vital, albeit grim, statistics that underscore the severe impact of the ongoing hostilities on the civilian population and the nation's health services.
