MSF reports ‘massive influx’ of wounded at Beirut hospital after strikes

A Doctors Without Borders coordinator in Beirut said Rafik Hariri Hospital is facing a “massive influx of casualties” following Israeli strikes.

Safa Bleik said emergency rooms are receiving large numbers of wounded, including children, many with shrapnel injuries and severe bleeding.

She added that medical staff are under intense pressure as hospital capacity has been overwhelmed.
