Story summary

In early March, a conflict broke out between Israel's military and the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah, displacing more than one million people, which is nearly a quarter of Lebanon's population. On September 27, during a speech marking the second anniversary of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s killing by Israel in 2024, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem announced that his group plans to contribute soon to a project aimed at providing housing for thousands of displaced Lebanese residents. The new housing initiative will focus on rebuilding villages that were completely destroyed during the conflict. Despite this commitment, Qassem emphasized that it is ultimately the responsibility of the Lebanese state to provide shelter, compensation, and reconstruction assistance to those affected by the war.
