Contractors have commenced the restoration of a crucial road that leads to Lebanon's main border crossing with Syria following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. The Mansaa border crossing, situated on the Beirut-Damascus international highway in the Beqaa valley, served as the primary route for thousands of individuals seeking refuge in Syria during the conflict before it was severely damaged by Israeli shelling last month, making it impassable.
Over the past two months of escalated hostilities, more than half a million people have been displaced from Lebanon to Syria, as reported by United Nations agencies. The restoration of the road leading to the Mansaa border crossing is a significant step towards facilitating the movement of people and goods between the two countries.
