"Lebanon is facing major challenges especially on the level of its health system," said Randa Yassir, a consultant at International Civil Society Action Network.
Yassir said Beirut has 12 hospitals, and rising numbers of COVID-19 infections have already put much pressure on the city's hospitals in recent weeks. Besides, some hospitals have been affected by Tuesday's blast, with some medical personnel killed or injured.
