Israel's Military Operation in Lebanon: A Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds

On September 23, Israel initiated a large-scale military operation against Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah along the border. This aggressive action marks the most significant conflict since the 2006 war, leading to the deaths of hundreds and displacing tens of thousands of Lebanese citizens. The ongoing violence has raised international alarm, prompting neighboring countries, particularly Iraq, to take action in support of those affected.

In response to this crisis, Iraq's highest religious authority, led by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, has expressed unwavering solidarity with the Lebanese people. The authority condemned the

brutal Zionist aggression

calling for urgent efforts to halt the violence and alleviate the humanitarian crisis facing Lebanon. This call to action has mobilized support within Iraq, leading to significant humanitarian efforts aimed at addressing the needs of those impacted by the conflict.

Humanitarian Aid: Iraqi Support for Lebanese Wounded

In a demonstration of solidarity, the Al-Hussainiya Shrine in Karbala has begun receiving Lebanese individuals injured in the conflict. The Imam Zain Al-Abidin Hospital has already treated 44 wounded Lebanese, with injuries ranging from minor to severe, some affecting entire families. Dr. Haider Al-Abadi, Director of the Health and Education Authority at Al-Abbas's Holy Shrine, confirmed that preparations are underway to accommodate more patients, highlighting the urgency of the situation as Lebanese hospitals struggle to cope with the influx of casualties.

A dedicated medical team from Al-Abbas's Holy Shrine is currently in Beirut, coordinating the transfer of patients and the delivery of humanitarian aid from Iraq. Despite the logistical challenges posed by the ongoing conflict, including the lack of identification for many patients and the suspension of air travel, efforts are being made to ensure that those in need receive timely medical attention. Al-Abadi emphasized the severity of the situation, noting that the number of casualties continues to rise, overwhelming local healthcare facilities.
