"Many families who lost their homes cannot afford to rebuild with their own money...Funding for #Lebanon — already limited — has been largely directed towards emergency humanitarian assistance rather than long-term rebuilding."
— Elie Yaacoub, @MercyCorps via @newhumanitarian
With homes, businesses, and infrastructure destroyed by Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, reconstruction is sorely needed. But where will the money come from?

The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is a devastating blow to climate action, weakening global commitments to reduce emissions & support climate-vulnerable communities. A huge step backward when we urgently need greater ambition to address the climate crisis, not retreat.
#Ceasefire in Gaza: “The agreement represents a major step forward but will only bring desperately needed relief to people in Gaza if there is a sustained ceasefire coupled with a dramatic increase in aid and commercial goods entering the Strip.” - @mercycorps' CEO, @Tjada
