Frankly Speaking | S11 E2 | Dr. Firas Abid, Lebanese Health Minister

On this episode of Frankly Speaking, we turn our attention to the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has brought Lebanon to the brink of a humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands displaced, and critical infrastructure in ruins. We hear from Lebanon’s Minister of Health, Dr Firass Abiad, who has activated a war emergency plan and accuses Israel of deliberately targeting healthcare workers. As the crisis deepens, we ask - has Beirut become the new Gaza? And can Lebanon withstand yet another chapter of devastation and despair?
