226 healthcare workers have been killed in Lebanon since the Gaza War broke out last year, according to information from the World Health Organization WHO. The UN agency says they were mainly killed in clashes between the Iran-backed Shia militia Hezbollah and Israel in the border area between the two countries.
The Gaza War was triggered by the large-scale attack by terrorist-stamped Hamas on Israel on October 7 last year. Hezbollah is close to Hamas. In September, Israel launched an offensive primarily targeting Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon. 70 percent of the 226 healthcare workers have been killed since then.
