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.

Power Plant Shuts Down Pending Fuel Provision
The Deir Amar power plant shut down early on Wednesday due to lack of fuel, local media reported.
Although the Finance Ministry approved this week the transfer of funds ($40 million) needed to purchase diesel fuel for both the Deir Ammar and Zahrani power plants, the tanker will unlikely be able to unload is cargo due to the bad weather conditions forecasted in Lebanon for the upcoming days.
The Zahrani plant is also due to stop operating on March 28.
Last month, the Parliament approved a payment of $265 million to allow EDL to purchase fuel, but the Finance Ministry did not allocate the funds needed for Deir Ammar and Zahrani until Tuesday.
EDL was expected to receive the $40 million from the Central Bank Wednesday afternoon, a source told The Daily Star newspaper.
The source explained that once weather conditions become favorable, it would take about 10-12 hours to unload the fuel, and that Deir Ammar would be able resume full power shortly afterward.
