Genuine recovery requires more than short-term financial injections; it demands a comprehensive approach that focuses on rebuilding institutions, implementing long-term reforms and fostering economic resilience.

Lebanon’s MEA to Reduce Flights After Changes to Insurance Cover
Lebanon’s Middle East Airlines (MEA) will reduce flights after changes to its insurance cover, Chairman Mohamad El-Hout said in a televised interview on Friday.
Only eight of its 22 aircraft will operate as of next week due to changes in insurance, he added.
Earlier this week, the carrier said it will keep five of its 24 airplanes in Turkey as a precaution in case of conflict.
