“The large number of injured people yesterday in Sidon and the receiving this big amount of wounded in the hospitals resulted in a shortage of some of the medical supplies in some of these hospitals.

8. Various of Shops closed
9. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mohammad Baayseeri, Sidon city head:
“Today was truly tragic, the entire city was closed. All government and private institutions closed. Mostly, movement (inside the city) was paralyzed. This is the least we can offer in solidarity with the people who were martyred and wounded. God willing, we hope for a speedy recovery. This (incident) affected Lebanon in particular, and Sidon is part of Lebanon, so it is affected by this because it is the closest to the south (Lebanon) during any event.”

11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mustafa Chouair, business owner:
“Starting yesterday until today, all shops and institutions are closed. Movement in the city stopped. Business has been greatly affected. Trade has declined by about 80 percent, and it can be said that the region is mostly devoid of the movement of people and businesses that we do. The crisis is great, and we hope that God will bring goodness to the country, and we say, May God protect us from evil.”

STORYLINE:
Hospitals in the Lebanese city of Sidon continued to treat dozens of people on Wednesday who were injured in the simultaneous detonation of hundreds of pagers used by the militant group of Hezbollah.
Younis Yassin, head of nurses at Al Hamshari Hospital, which is private, said they had treated 80 injured people.
He added that the hospital was also providing supplies to other hospitals.
On Tuesday at least 12 people were killed and around 3000 injured as a result of the simultaneous explosions on pagers used by Hezbollah.
And in a second wave of attacks, walkie-talkies and solar equipment exploded in Beirut and multiple parts of Lebanon on Wednesday.
At least nine people were killed and more than 300 people wounded in the second wave, the Health Ministry said.
Schools, universities and government buildings closed for the day in solidarity with those who have been killed and injured.
The attacks came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, which have exchanged fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that sparked the war in Gaza.
