Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Friday held a central meeting dedicated to discussing the launch of recovery projects in the so-called pilot zones in south Lebanon, as part of the first phase of a return and recovery plan.
Salam stressed the importance of intensifying coordination among all relevant ministries, government agencies, and security and military forces to ensure the successful implementation of the first phase and “guarantee a safe and dignified return for residents.”
To avoid any obstacles on the ground, he directed that open follow-up meetings be held at the Grand Serail to monitor progress on an ongoing basis.
The Prime Minister also emphasized the need to “expedite the removal of rubble, reopen roads, and restore essential services and vital infrastructure, prioritizing the provision of prefabricated housing for the targeted towns to ensure a swift return for residents.”
Salam tasked the relevant authorities with preparing detailed plans for launching the recovery projects and immediately commencing the reconstruction of the bridge connecting Qaqaiyat al-Jisr to the town of Froun, given its importance in reconnecting villages and districts in the south and facilitating the movement of citizens.
