#Lebanon, South #Beirut: It was a huge series of blasts and bombardments last night in densely populated areas. The situation is chaotic. Thousands of people, including @msf teams, had to flee their homes in the dark with nothing; some on foot. Many are still stranded in cars.
The situation is desperate. Our @msf teams are working around the clock in #Beirut, delivering water, hygiene kits and blankets. Thousands of people are fleeing. Over 500 schools are full. People slept in cars on the streets. Hospitals are overwhelmed with the wounded.
So far, @msf teams have delivered 400 kits of basic relief items to shelters, including hygiene materials and mattresses. We are also providing water supplies and offering psychological first aid to those in need. Our teams continue to assess the needs and deliver help.
As the Israeli bombardment campaign of Lebanon continues, MSF reiterates its call that civilians and healthcare workers must be protected.
