Lebanon’s health ministry has said hospitals in Beirut’s southern suburbs will be evacuated.

It urged hospitals in unaffected areas to stop admitting non-urgent cases.

This was after the heavy Israeli strikes in the area.

A ministry statement on Saturday called on hospitals unaffected by Israeli strikes to “stop receiving non-emergency cases until the end of next week in order to make space to receive patients from hospitals in Beirut’s southern suburbs which will be evacuated due to the developments in the aggression”, Agence France-Presse reported.

The health ministry has yet to provide an updated toll for strikes.
