As the war in Lebanon continues, medical workers are finding themselves on the front lines of a conflict that Israel maintains is directed solely at Hizbullah. However, the reality on the ground for emergency responders is one of mounting casualties and constant threat. Medics are reporting that their colleagues are being killed and injured while performing their duties, raising concerns about the protection of healthcare workers in the conflict zone. The strain on the Lebanese healthcare system is reaching a breaking point as the number of dead and wounded continues to climb.
