Hospitals and medical staff in Lebanon are working round the clock to treat patients in the wake of Israel’s deadly strikes against the country.

Elisabeth, a nurse at Rafik Hariri University Hospital, has explained the key role of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Lebanon in providing health care services.

She said the ICRC also provides psychological support  and rehabilitation services to patients wounded in the Israeli war on Lebanon.

Elisabeth said one of the patients was at risk of losing both legs due to the severity of his injury.

The nurse added that the ICRC did its best to facilitate his return to normal life. Elisabeth said in addition to medical treatment, the patient benefited mental health and social support as well as physiotherapy sessions.
