Lebanon: Hezbollah begins paying compensation to displaced whose homes were destroyed in the Israeli war

Hezbollah announced the start of paying housing allowances to displaced persons whose homes were destroyed in the Israeli war, under the campaign "Promise and Commitment," worth $14,000 per housing unit in Beirut and the southern suburb and $12,000 outside them, to be paid in four annual installments, without mentioning the source of funding or the number of beneficiaries.

Hezbollah announced on Monday the start of paying housing allowances to Lebanese displaced persons whose homes were damaged or destroyed by the Israeli war that began on March 2. These aids come under the campaign "Promise and Commitment," which the party said translates the loyalty to the owners of demolished homes and affirms that the sacrifices made for the resistance approach are met with a responsibility that does not lapse. The support plan, announced by the party last month, includes providing aid worth $14,000 per housing unit in Beirut and the southern suburb, and $12,000 for units outside them. It benefits those whose homes were completely destroyed or significantly damaged and are no longer habitable, in addition to displaced persons from areas occupied by Israel in southern Lebanon, provided they do not own another home. The party intends to pay the aid to each eligible person for one year in four installments, at a rate of one installment every three months. The party did not mention the source of funding or the number of beneficiaries. The announcement comes despite the US economic siege on Tehran and the tightening of Lebanese authorities' control over the party's supply routes for money and weapons.
