Finance Minister Yassine Jaber announced Tuesday that the government will allocate $335 million to rehabilitate infrastructure damaged in areas affected by the recent conflict.  The minister said that "a loan was signed with the World Bank and adopted by the Cabinet, under which about $335 million will be devoted to rehabilitating infrastructure damaged" .  In an interview with al-Jadeed, Jaber stated that "around 500 buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs were cracked due to conflict, and that the cost of their repair amounts to about $60 million." According to him, "the rehabilitation of these buildings has begun, and an Iraqi donation of $20 million has been allocated to them." He added that it was possible that "funds from the public treasury will be released in order to continue the reconstruction." (ICE BEIRUT)
