Paying housing compensations

Jihad al Binaa vehicles and bulldozers were working in cooperation with the municipalities in towns, army vehicles, and other official apparatuses to remove the rubbles from the [southern] suburb's roads, and to build new dirt roads alterative to the demolished bridges in the south, before returnees to their cities, villages and suburb in August 14. Meanwhile, another team from Jihad al Binaa had already started surveying the initial damages of the field war.

Jihad al Binaa and the resistance wouldn’t ever abandon their nation that is passing through the toughest ordeal – families without homes or with houses without walls, coming back after being displaced by force – this nation insists that all what has happened and is happening is a sacrifice for the resistance, its leader, and this path. Jihad al Binaa didn’t wait for the government's treasury of administrative routine to take action, although the aim behind Jihad al Binaa's interference was not to cause a problem between the people and the government, but to provide their return with pride and dignity – for time was not on the side of anyone; the month of Ramadan was approaching, and so was winter!

Therefore, the housing compensations were paying according to the initial surveys of demolished buildings, which Jihad al Binaa was capable of accomplishing it in an unprecedented period of time. Compensations were settled without any complications to $12,000 in Beirut (representing $4,000 for annual rest, and $8,000 for the furniture), $10,000 in the south ($2,000 for rest and $8,000 for furniture). They settled to the documents essential to identify the individuals and their demolished buildings, and in one month, compensations were paid for more than 12,000 individuals.

It is worthy to mention the obstacles facing the organization in the southern part of the [Laytani] River including the delay of "Israeli" troops' withdrawal from that area and the permanent threat left behind represented by cluster munitions; which delayed the quick return of that area's people.

Jihad al Binaa took into consideration that not any side can directly start reconstructing due to the hugeness of this file, with reference to the more than 120,000 affected units including houses, shops, institutions and others, yet they should hasten its implementation.

In this context, the organization cooperated with the owners of the houses in the sense that each person managed the [reconstruction] project at his house or institution. Compensations were paid according to the damages estimated in the forms, knowing that Jihad al Binaa took into consideration that the people alone cannot bear the burdens of reconstruction alone, especially that many of them lost their means of living during the war.

In six months of exhausting work, Jihad al Binaa was able to fold the sensitive stages of a huge project. The Zionist enemy thought it could defeat determination of a nation that sacrificed their blood for the sake of resistance; then how can it not sacrifice their homes?
