In a south Lebanon hospital heavily damaged by deadly Israeli strikes nearby, Dr Nasser al-Masri held a new-born baby, calling him "a message of life and hope" despite the war.Israeli strikes near the Jabal Amel hospital in Tyre on Monday killed four people and wounded 127, including four doctors, 27 nurses, and eight administrative employees, Lebanon's health ministry said.They also caused "severe and extensive damage" to the facility, it added."Despite everything that happened yesterday, there was a scheduled delivery today... (and) the mother insisted on delivering at the hospital," Dr Masri said."This baby was born today, he's just a few minutes old... He brought us a message of life and a message of hope for the future."Glass was scattered across some hospital rooms on Tuesday, while dust and debris covered beds and tables.Medication was strewn on corridor floors, and staff tried to work as others cleaned up around them."We're taking in any patient that comes to us," Dr Masri said, adding that "even two hours after the raids, we were able to work normally, and the administration is determined to stay and work".Around the hospital, the devastation was stark: a nearby building had been levelled, others were severely damaged and debris was scattered round near parked ambulances. The roof of the hospital's parking collapsed, crushing several vehicles. Bulldozers worked to clear away the rubble.- 'Steadfast' -Inspecting the damage, Mohammad Derbaj, head of the hospital's maintenance department, charged that "the civilian buildings were not the intended target, but rather Jabal Amel was targeted in order to put it out of service, but we are steadfast"."What happened has increased our determination and strength," he added, as the hospital administration "made a decision yesterday that the hospital will return... We will work day and night to restore the hospital to what it was".Israeli strikes have not spared Lebanese hospitals since the start of the latest Israel-Hezbollah war on March 2.
