Three rescue workers killed in Israeli strike as Lebanon’s humanitarian crisis deepens

Five people have been killed and two injured in a pair of Israeli airstrikes on a building in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese officials. Among the dead were three rescue workers who had reportedly been searching for survivors and evacuating the wounded after the initial attack.
Lebanese officials condemned the strike as a violation of international and humanitarian law. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies says the humanitarian situation in Lebanon remains dire, with around 1.2 million people displaced and many struggling to access shelter, food, water, and healthcare.
Tommaso Della Longa of the IFRC joins the program from southern Lebanon to discuss the risks facing aid workers, the worsening displacement crisis, and why international support is urgently needed.
