Do not leave Lebanon to face alone a war that remains in its soil, water and forests after the fire stops. Help it restore its land as fit for life, and to secure its right to justice.
Our call is to turn documentation into accountability, and solidarity into actual support for recovery. We demand an independent and effective track that holds the aggressor responsible for the damages and the cost of addressing and compensating them, and the inclusion of the environmental and climate cost of wars among international priorities and financing mechanisms.
Lebanon stands before you as a land that has burned, reserves that have been damaged, fields whose owners have lost their seasons and livelihoods, and explosions that shook the earth and changed its features. It asks you: who bears responsibility for these damages, and who ensures that Lebanese will not remain alone facing their effects and the cost of addressing them?
Do not leave Lebanon to face alone a war that remains in its soil, water and forests after the fire stops. Help it restore its land as fit for life, and to obtain its right to justice.
The cessation of shelling does not give the land a certificate of recovery.
Our call is to turn documentation into accountability, and solidarity into actual support for recovery.
