Director of Rafik Hariri University Hospital, Dr. Firas Abiad, tweeted on Tuesday:

“Rafik Hariri Hospital, as well as other hospitals, which are full of Covid-19 infected patients, are complaining about an alarming decrease in the supply of oxygen tanks. Suppliers were unable to deliver the much needed oxygen due to blocked roads. The Health Ministry and the security forces were informed of this matter. Without oxygen, we will lose precious lives.”
