4:25 a.m.: In Beirut, the emergency rooms at the Rafic Hariri hospital are always full
The Israeli offensive launched on Lebanon ten days ago left thousands injured. The Jewish state says it is attacking Hezbollah, but hits residential areas. In the southern suburbs, the three hospitals are no longer functioning. Very close to this region, the Rafic Hariri hospital, the main public hospital in Lebanon, takes over.
We prepared ourselves, if the roads were cut and the hospital became inaccessible, to be able to hold out for ten days for medicines, water and food. We put the “H” sign on the roof, and we will receive an ICRC flag. But the Israelis don’t care. We know what happened in Gaza. And no one reacted!
