Risk of war: The caretaker government faces uncertainty and lack of funding amidst regional tensions
The caretaker government finds itself in one of its most challenging periods, grappling with the threats of war and internal divisions while facing a severe shortage of funding for emergency plans it claims to have prepared for implementation when necessary.
This lack of coordination within the government has become evident recently, raising questions about the lack of a unified approach to the challenges.
This article was originally published in and translated from the Lebanese newspaper Nidaa al-Watan.
One instance of this confusion is the decision by Middle East Airlines to reposition its aircraft in neighboring countries. This move drew objections from ministers such as Economy Minister Amin Salam and Public Works and Transportation Minister Ali Hamie. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Najib Mikati considered the airline's decision a precautionary measure.
Another example of the government's inconsistency is the reaction of Education Minister Abbas Halabi, who expressed strong disapproval when certain parties in Tyre unilaterally provided shelter to displaced people from the south in three public and vocational schools without notifying or obtaining approval from the Education Ministry.
However, the most significant inconsistency lies in the statements and assurances about funding, especially the claim that Banque du Liban (BDL) has a plan and is ready to meet the government's dollar requirements.
In reality, the government is turning to international humanitarian, developmental, and relief organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and international financial institutions like the World Bank for assistance.
For instance, Health Minister Firas Abiad confirmed that the government has only secured $10 million for treating the wounded and an additional $1 million for government hospitals. In contrast, two loans from the World Bank, totaling $65 million, have been approved to support the ministry and purchase necessary medications.
In light of the worsening situation for the country's firefighting and civil defense units and the Red Cross, non-governmental organizations, governmental hospitals, and more, government and non-governmental parties have contacted donor countries and organizations to secure financial support.
It is essential to acknowledge that the government's reassurances and Banque du Liban's claims lack substantial financial backing commensurate with the anticipated catastrophe if war breaks out.
