Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that the explosions of wireless communication devices (pagers) in Lebanon led to a major disruption in the country's health system. Ghebreyesus explained, during a press conference in Geneva today, Thursday, that his organization had conducted intensive contacts with the Lebanese Ministry of Health following the bombing incident. He added: "This incident caused a major disruption in the Lebanese health system, which was already fragile."
