Among the 3,020 dead are 292 women and 211 children, as well as 116 healthcare workers, according to the ministry.

The Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah attacked Israel on March 2, in retaliation for the Israeli and US attack on Iran on February 28, which led to Israel's escalation in Lebanon.

Israel has invaded and occupied parts of southern Lebanon and has carried out extensive demolitions of buildings there. The Israeli attacks have forced over a million people to flee their homes.

Since April 17, there has been a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but both sides accuse each other of violating it.
