Over 1,000 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since Sept. 17 , nearly a quarter of them women and children, Lebanon 's Health Ministry says.

Over 30 primary health care centers around Lebanon ’s affected areas have been closed.

Exhausted medical staff are struggling to cope with the daily influx of new patients.

At least 15 civilians were killed Saturday and Sunday , including two municipal workers, a soldier and several children.

It took rescuers two days to comb through rubble of a home in the Kharab neighborhood in the city’s center.

Six premature babies in incubators around the city were moved to Beirut .

Civil defense official: “We are working in very difficult and critical circumstances because the strikes are random. We have no protection. We will definitely need more”.
