Reconstruction on agenda of Friday's cabinet session
Cabinet will convene Friday in Baabda with the reconstruction of war-hit regions on its agenda, Speaker Nabih Berri said in a parliament session.
The World Bank estimates the costs of reconstruction and recovery at $11 billion.
In August 2025, Lebanon signed a $250 million loan agreement with the World Bank for the reconstruction of war-hit regions in south and east Lebanon.
The initial loan is designed to support the urgent repair and reconstruction of critical public infrastructure and lifeline services.
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said earlier this week, as he visited Tripoli in north Lebanon, that his "heart is also with the south" and that he will soon visit it to announce a package of reconstruction projects that "we will begin implementing as soon as possible."
