Israel’s Health Ministry has ordered hospitals in the north of the country to prepare for the possibility of receiving “thousands of injured” people as tensions with the Lebanon’s Hezbollah group increase, TRT World reports, citing Israeli public broadcaster KAN.
KAN said the ministry has asked medical centres in the north to prepare for the possibility of going into “deserted island mode,” that is being left without medical supplies, medicine and food for days.
The ministry also asked hospitals to go into emergency mode within a few hours and requested that they maintain a 50 percent occupancy rate.
