Lebanon says 46 rescuers, five medical staff killed in war

Lebanese Health Minister Rakan Nasreddine said Saturday that 46 rescuers and five medical staff had been killed by Israel since the start of the war with Hezbollah on March 2.

Nasreddine said in a press conference that "the number of martyrs in the health sector... is 51 martyrs... including 46 paramedics and 5 health workers, including nine new paramedic martyrs today."

The minister said the nine medics killed in south Lebanon on Saturday included four from the Islamic Health Committee who were targeted by Israeli strikes while carrying out rescue missions, and five from the Risala Scouts, who were also on duty.
