Todavía said he had blocked some funds, such as six million dollars from the 18 candidates for the French AFD agency, says his director for Lebanon, Arthur Germond.
What happens to the recovery plan?

Are you satisfied with the ones?
If you want all the funds to be unassembled, some oenegés afirman that only receive a small part of the international promises.
Nabih Jabr, of the Cruz Roja Libanesa, said that the donations were made with the help of the international aid he had received.

Will the Beiroet heritage be salvaged?
The World Bank estimates that the explosion caused up to 8,100 million dollars in data and economic losses.

The Beirut Heritage Initiative, an alliance of supporters, claims that just now it has received $ 250,000 from institutional donors, a small fraction of the $ 300 million it calculates it needs to be restored.
Without these foundations, “Lebanese heritage can not be reconstructed”, says Fadlo Dagher, one of the founders of the initiative.
