❗️Hezbollah announces $14,000 housing aid to families whose homes were destroyed by Israel

Hezbollah has announced a housing assistance program for families whose homes were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by Israeli attacks, with eligible households set to receive up to $14,000 for rent and furniture.

Hezbollah Executive Council chairman Ali Damoush said in a press conference on Tuesday that families in Beirut and its southern suburbs would receive $14,000, including $8,000 for furniture and $6,000 for rent. Eligible families elsewhere in Lebanon will receive $12,000, comprising $8,000 for furniture and $4,000 for rent, maintaining the same rates as the program introduced in 2024.

Payments will be distributed in four installments over one year, beginning with an initial payment of $3,500 for families in Beirut and its southern suburbs and $3,000 for those elsewhere in Lebanon.

Damoush also criticized the Lebanese government for failing to establish a program providing direct assistance to affected families. He said government efforts to remove rubble and implement other projects were part of broader infrastructure rehabilitation and did not directly compensate those who had suffered losses.
