Health under attack in the Middle East

News coming in from the Middle East says across the region, conflicts are putting millions at risk.

In Lebanon alone, attacks on health care are happening almost three times a day — affecting hospitals, ambulances, and even health workers.

Strikes on water systems are another major threat.

Some countries rely on 70 –100% desalinated water, meaning damage can lead to shortages, disease outbreaks, and hospital shutdowns.

Displaced families in shelters face limited access to care, while overcrowding increases the risk of infections.

Mental health needs are also rising rapidly.

The WHO and partners are working to keep supplies stable, support hospitals, and deploy mobile clinics to reach those in need.
