The life-saving trauma kits include ​bandages, antibiotics and anaesthetics to treat patients who sustained ​war-related injuries, the WHO stated.

“Some of the trauma management ⁠supplies were in short supply, and we may run out in ​a few days,” Dr Abdinasir Abubakar, the WHO’s representative in ​Lebanon, told Reuters.

Israel bombed more targets in Lebanon on Thursday after its biggest attacks of the war on its neighbour on Wednesday killed more than 250 ​people and more than 1,000 were injured, and threatened to ​torpedo Donald Trump’s truce from the outset.

“If we have another mass casualty, ‌like ⁠what happened yesterday, it will be a disaster,” Abubakar said.

“Probably we will lose more lives just because we don’t have enough supplies,” he added.

Shortages of supplies of trauma kits have been driven ​by a surge ​in recent ⁠casualties - the majority of whom are civilians - with roughly three weeks’ worth of supplies being depleted in ​one day, Abubakar stated.

Medicines to treat patients with ​chronic ⁠disease, such as insulin for diabetes patients, are also facing stockouts within the weeks, after supply chains were disrupted following the war ⁠in ​the Gulf and the closure of the ​Strait of Hormuz, Abubakar said.
