The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Abiad Visits Baalbek-Hermel Governorate
Caretaker Minister of Health Firas Abiad on Sunday toured Baalbek-Hermel governorate in preparation for launching a cholera vaccination campaign.
The tour started from the village of Arsal and included a camp for the displaced Syrians, and a field hospital was established there.
The minister explained that the hospital could accommodate 25 cholera patients instead of transferring them to distant hospitals.
He said that the number of cases in the Bekaa was less than those in Akkar, expressing concern over the increase in cases.
Abiad pointed out that his tour aimed at preparing for the launch of the cholera vaccination campaign, noting that Lebanon is waiting to receive 600,000 doses of vaccine.
"Next Saturday, the cholera vaccination campaign will begin with the aim of protecting and limiting its spread in agricultural areas that depend on agricultural exports, agriculture and tourism," Abiad announced.
He added that food security was top priority, noting that it is important to work to limit the spread of cholera and reach Lebanon free of this pandemic.
Finally, the minister explained that the campaign aimed at covering more Syrians and Lebanese in a short period in a bid to give 600,000 vaccines in three weeks.
