A medic with Doctors Without Borders told Al Jazeera that the wounded include children whose ‘intestines were outside their bodies.’

In southern Lebanon, there is “essentially a daily bombardment on civilians”, the medic added.

On April 8, the day when US-Iran declared a ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan, some civilians returned to their homes “thinking potentially it could have been safe, and within a few hours of having returned, there was a seven-year-old girl whose family was bombed”.

Israel supported the decision of a ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran, but added that the ceasefire does not include Lebanon, contradicting an earlier statement from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan.
