With the coming into force of the cease fire in August 14th 2006, there was a rapid return of the displaced to the south. Those whose homes were destroyed stayed at relatives or rented homes in less-affected villages. The war left behind it substantial impact on all levels, the estimate costs for the direct physical damage of the war on Lebanon counts up to 3,612 million US Dollars. 66.6% of the amount in damage is concentrated in housing and commercial spaces, and 13.4% is concentrated in Transportation.

As a case study, the ITIC chose several main Shiite cities and the rural areas surrounding them in the three main Shiite population regions: southern Lebanon, the southern suburb of Beirut (Dahieh), and the Bekaa Valley. In each of them, the activity of Hezbollah’s civilian institutions will be examined in comparison with that of Lebanese government institutions or other Shiite organizations (the Amal Movement and other Shiite institutions which are not affiliated with Hezbollah but operate under its auspices). The city of Bint Jbeil was the first in this series of case studies1. Nabatieh, a large city with a Shiite population, in southern Lebanon, was chosen to be the second case study. Following are the findings of an examination of Hezbollah’s civilian institutions in Nabatieh: In the city of Nabatieh and the rural area surrounding it, Hezbollah, with massive Iranian support, has established a substantial infrastructure of social institutions providing the local population with a wide variety of services.

Since 2011, more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees have sought asylum in Lebanon, effectively increasing the population by 30%. The influx of Syrian refugees has placed additional strain on already strained public infrastructure, including health, electricity, water, and sanitation. However, the influx of Syrian refugees has also meant greater income-generating opportunities for Lebanese people and Syrian refugees as the real value of agricultural output has increased by 10 percent compared to the pre-crisis level (Hamade, November 2020) . At the same time, Lebanon is faced with increasing unemployment and poverty, rapidly rising inflation on food and non-food items, and a depreciated Lebanese Lira.
