Following a devastating war with Israel, Lebanon is in dire need of reconstruction, estimated at $11 billion by the World Bank. Amidst an ongoing economic crisis and significant infrastructure damage, about 163,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged. However, donor support is uncertain due to a lack of trust in the Lebanese political class, which has a history of corruption. Major donors are also focused on geopolitical conditions, such as calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah, making aid slower to arrive compared to previous conflicts.
Rebuilding is essential after Israel's war on Lebanon, but there is skepticism about whether the international community will provide the necessary financial assistance amidst political corruption.
Lebanon faces an estimated $11 billion in reconstruction costs following the war, yet donor trust in the Lebanese government remains low due to issues of corruption and mismanagement.
