The 3-part series covers:

Dr. Nasser Saidi estimates overall reconstruction costs at $25 billion, in a much less favourable domestic and international context than in 2006.  

2. What are the immediate priorities for Lebanon?

Economist and former Minister Nasser Saidi calls for urgent action: securing humanitarian aid, ensuring it reaches the most vulnerable, and specifically children, maintaining Lebanon’s global connections, and the need for a new political authority.
