Civilian Lives Shattered: A Glimpse into the Ongoing Conflict in Southern Lebanon
Goktay Koraltan Mohammed, a 29-year-old civil engineer, was severely injured in an Israeli air strike while distributing food to the elderly in his village, Arab Salim. As the conflict escalates, hospitals like Nabih Berri are overwhelmed with civilian casualties from daily air strikes, with medical staff reporting up to 30 injuries each day. The local hospital struggles to maintain operations due to fuel shortages and staff inadequacies, emphasizing the dire humanitarian situation. Amid the chaos, long-standing cultural heritage sites, such as Nabatieh’s historic market, have been destroyed, deepening the community’s sense of loss.
