The tragic events of the past 36 hours have resulted in a significant loss of life and injuries in south Lebanon.

Up to 11 civilians were killed in a single day, including 10 paramedics.

I am deeply disturbed by the repeated attacks on health facilities and health workers who risk their lives to provide urgent assistance to their local communities.

Attacks on healthcare violate international humanitarian law and are unacceptable.

The rules of war are clear: civilians, including healthcare workers, must be protected.

Civilian infrastructure, including health facilities, must be protected.

Healthcare is not a target. Civilians are not a target.
