Injury morbidity and mortality during conflict: evidence from the 2024 war on lebanon

The study highlights the immense human toll of the 2024 conflict in Lebanon on a population already crippled with economic crises and a fragile healthcare system. While vulnerable populations including women and children were heavily impacted, many blast victims were reported dead before hospital arrival due to limited access to timely care and the targeting of healthcare infrastructure. The findings underscore the violations of international humanitarian law and highlight the urgent need to protect civilians and healthcare infrastructure, as well as to strengthen emergency preparedness and post-conflict recovery.
