Funds via risky routes to Lebanon denied by Washington
A report states that Hezbollah received approximately $200 million from Iran last month to support those affected by the war with Israel in southern Lebanon and the southern region of Beirut. Meanwhile, Washington denied the accuracy of this information and confirmed that no funds were immediately available. The party plans to distribute an initial batch of $3,000 to around 50,000 families, focusing on households whose villages have been destroyed or which have become isolated due to Israeli operations. This comes amid rising operational costs and increasing difficulties in transferring money caused by sanctions and international requirements. Sources indicate that mediation fees are draining up to 20% of the funds, reflecting the deteriorating financial situation and the challenges faced by the party. Some officials emphasize the need to support Lebanon in reconstruction efforts, which could cost over $27 billion.
