Lebanon is currently experiencing difficulties in delivering medicines to hospitals in various regions under Israeli airstrikes, due to attacks on highways, according to Jo Salloum, President of the Lebanese Order of Pharmacists, in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Salloum clarified that, while there is no shortage of medicines, the primary challenge lies in transporting them to hospitals and pharmacies in areas affected by the strikes, as many roads have been blocked. He emphasized that efforts are being made to ensure uninterrupted supply to patients in need. Measures have been taken to rationalize the use of medicines to maintain stocks for as long as possible.
Since Monday morning, Israeli airstrikes have targeted villages and towns in southern and eastern Lebanon, leaving several civilians injured. In retaliation, Hezbollah forces launched numerous rockets toward northern Israel. The Lebanese government has called on the UN to intervene and stop the Israeli aggression.
According to Lebanon's Ministry of Health's emergency center, the bombings have resulted in 558 deaths and 1,835 injuries across the south and east of the country.
