E-mailMarch 28 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization said on Saturday that nine paramedics were killed and seven others wounded in five separate attacks on health care in southern Lebanon.
The latest incidents struck medical teams in five separate villages, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a social media post.
