Lebanon: Mounting toll of martyrs and displacement amid escalating Zionist aggression

BEIRUT – The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported on Tuesday that the toll from the Zionist aggression against the country since October 2023 has reached 3,002 martyrs and 13,492 wounded.

In the past 24 hours, the Zionist airstrikes have resulted in at least 16 martyrs and 90 injured across the country, the ministry added.

The mounting toll of martyrs parallels the displacement of an estimated 1.2 million people—out of Lebanon’s total population of 5.8 million—who have been forcibly displaced from their cities, towns, and villages, including neighbourhoods in the capital, Beirut, which has been under relentless bombing from the Zionist entity.
