Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Ali Hamieh, on Friday said that Lebanon was neither helpless nor bankrupt, pointing out that its public facilities, including ports and airports, can be relied upon.

"In the month of January 2022, the revenues of Beirut Port were only 437 thousand US dollars, while in January 2023 the port’s revenues amounted to more than 10 million US dollars, and they are constantly increasing," Hamieh tweeted.
