BEIRUT, Mar. 17 -- Civilian casualties in Lebanon have continued to mount as the Lebanon-Israel conflict intensifies. As of March 16, 2026, the conflict has resulted in 886 deaths and 2,141 injuries, which has overwhelmed the local hospitals at all levels and caused blood stocks to run critically low repeatedly. In rapid response, the 24th Chinese Peacekeeping Level 1+ Hospital to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) activated its emergency blood collection protocol, setting up an improvised blood collection site at the affiliated Level 1+ Hospital.

贝鲁特3月17日电 黎以冲突持续升级，黎巴嫩平民伤亡数字不断攀升。截至当地时间3月16日，冲突已造成886人死亡、2141人受伤，当地各级医疗机构不堪重负，血液库存频频告急。中国第24批赴黎巴嫩维和医疗分队紧急响应，启动战时应急采血预案，在分队所属中国一级+医院设立临时采血点。

To ensure the safety and efficiency of blood collection and timely delivery, the Chinese peacekeeping medical contingent streamlined the blood supply chain to cut the process from three hours down to two. As of March 16, a total of 9,600 milliliters of whole blood had been collected from 24 peacekeepers, including both Chinese and Spanish peacekeepers.

为确保采血安全高效、血液及时送达，医疗分队启动战时采血应急机制，最大限度缩短供血链路，将原本需要3小时的流程压缩至2小时。截至当天，已有24名中国和西班牙维和官兵成功献血，累计采集全血9600毫升。

It is learned that since the escalation of the Lebanon-Israel conflict, the Chinese Peacekeeping Level 1+ Hospital to UNIFIL has stood on the frontline to continue medical treatment and rescue. Since March 1, the contingent has provided medical treatment to more than 110 peacekeepers and local residents.

据悉，自黎以冲突升级以来，中国一级+医院始终坚守战火一线，持续开展医疗救治工作，自3月1日以来累计接诊维和官兵及周边民众110余人次。
