Lebanon's hospitals may run out of vital medical supplies within days, says WHO

Some of Lebanon's hospitals could run out of life-saving trauma medical kits within days as supplies ‌near depletion following mass casualties from large-scale Israeli strikes over the past day, the World Health Organization said on Thursday.

The life-saving trauma kits include bandages, antibiotics and anaesthetics to treat patients who sustained war-related injuries, the WHO stated.

"Some of the trauma management ⁠supplies were in short (supply) and we may run out in a few days," Dr Abdinasir Abubakar the WHO's representative in Lebanon told Reuters.

"If we have another mass casualty, ‌like ⁠what happened yesterday, it will be a disaster," Abubakar said.

"Probably we will lose more lives just because we don't have enough supplies," he added.
