The Marada Movement Leader emphasized that if any faction in Lebanon falls, the entire country loses.

Environment Minister, Nasser Yassin, speaking after the meeting, highlighted the mechanism for distributing relief supplies through local governors and municipal authorities, ensuring proper documentation and oversight.
‘The Ministry of Social Affairs will assist in monitoring to ensure aid reaches those in need, with updates shared on the government’s official website,’ Yassin said. He also addressed water and sanitation challenges in the shelters, noting that many were ill-equipped to accommodate large numbers of displaced people.
The Minister further acknowledged the logistical difficulties but emphasized ongoing collaboration with UNICEF and other p
