Lebanon Residents Complain of Slow Aid Process

HeadlineNov 21, 2006

Meanwhile, residents of many Lebanese villages targeted during the invasion are complaining they’re just starting to receive government aid to rebuild.

Mustafa Alawiyeh, head of the local council in the village Maroun al-Ras: “We just started digging up the rubble (in Maroun al-Ras) that was caused by the Israeli offensive on the village. People are in a lot of trouble, because winter is arriving and every house has been damaged or destroyed. People don’t know what to do and are waiting for the government’s help.”
