TLDR

  • Israel has intensified deadly attacks on Lebanese cities, killing at least 13 people on Wednesday.
  • The attacks occurred despite diplomatic efforts from Washington urging direct talks between Lebanon and Israel.
  • Medical personnel report a surge in traumatic amputations and severe psychological trauma among civilians, including children, due to the ongoing violence.

The relentless Israeli aggression continues to inflict devastating casualties on Lebanese civilians, even as international calls for dialogue echo. Wednesday's attacks, which claimed at least 13 lives, underscore the brutal reality on the ground, with families torn apart and communities shattered.

Reports from the National News Agency paint a grim picture: a family wiped out in Jbaa, with parents, son, and daughter-in-law perishing in a single bombing. The carnage extended to Ansariyeh and Qadmus, adding to the mounting death toll. These are not isolated incidents; they are part of a pattern of daily bombardment targeting innocent lives.

Dalam 24 jam terakhir, kami mengalami begitu banyak amputasi traumatis sehingga kami kehabisan tourniquet arteri

— Thienminh DinhDetailing the severity of injuries and lack of medical supplies.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides a harrowing firsthand account of the escalating crisis. Thienminh Dinh, speaking from Tyre, describes a scene of overwhelming trauma, with a critical shortage of medical supplies like arterial tourniquets. The stories of children suffering horrific injuries, their bodies ravaged by shrapnel, and the profound psychological scars left by displacement and loss, are a stark testament to the human cost of this conflict.

Kami mendapati anak-anak yang… ususnya penuh dengan pecahan peluru, hanya terkoyak. Pada minggu yang sama, kami mendapati anak-anak yang isi perutnya terburai, sehingga usus mereka berada di luar tubuh mereka.

— Thienminh DinhIllustrating the horrific nature of injuries sustained by children.

This violence, occurring amidst diplomatic overtures, highlights a stark disconnect between political maneuvering and the lived experience of those caught in the crossfire. For us in Lebanon, this is not just news; it is a daily struggle for survival, a testament to our resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Selain cedera fisik yang mereka alami, ada trauma psikologis mendalam yang timbul karena rumah Anda dirampas, menjadi pengungsi, kehilangan anggota keluarga, dan terluka.
