What is the estimated cost of reconstruction in Lebanon and what safety measures are being taken for returning residents?

Lebanese authorities estimate reconstruction costs could exceed $10 billion following the recent conflict that caused extensive damage to border communities. For safety reasons, displaced residents are being instructed not to return to their homes immediately. Border towns and villages have specifically called on residents to wait until the Lebanese army has deployed to these areas before attempting to return. This precautionary measure is being implemented by authorities to guarantee the safety of returning civilians amid the post-conflict instability in the region.
