MSF says conditions in Lebanon’s Nabatieh resemble a ‘death trap’

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) stated that conditions in Nabatieh, Lebanon, resemble a "death trap" following intensified Israeli attacks. The organization reported on March 22, 2024, that its teams are witnessing severe destruction and a critical lack of essential services in the region. MSF highlighted that the civilian population is trapped, with limited access to medical care, clean water, and food. The intensification of hostilities since midnight on Friday has led to widespread damage to infrastructure, including residential areas and healthcare facilities. MSF is calling for urgent humanitarian access and protection for civilians caught in the escalating conflict. The organization has been providing medical assistance in southern Lebanon, but the current situation severely hampers their ability to operate safely and effectively. The statement underscores the dire humanitarian consequences of the ongoing military operations in the area.
