BEIRUT: The death toll in Lebanon in more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has reached 4,047, most of them since violence escalated in September, Lebanese Minister of Public Health Firass Abiad said on Wednesday. A week after a ceasefire took effect he said that “until now ... we have recorded 4,047 dead and 16,638 wounded.” He said 316 children and 790 women were among those killed. Most of the deaths occurred after Sept. 15, he said, adding that “we believe the real number may be higher” because of unrecorded deaths.
