A Parliamentary commission made up of members of different parliamentary blocs was set up on Tuesday to follow up the needs of the displaced persons, alongside the government’s emergency committee.

A meeting was held for this purpose in the Parliament at the invitation of Hezbollah and Amal’s blocs.

The MPs underlined the need to finish the survey of the displaced people who are still outside shelters and who account for 80% of the displaced population. Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday to secure all demands, including those related to health and education.

Following heavy Israeli raids on southern Lebanon, the Beqaa, and the southern suburb of Beirut, as well as previously thought to be safe areas like Tyre, Zahrani, Bint Jbeil, and Marjayoun, Lebanon saw an unprecedented exodus, with more than 1.3 million displaced people.
