What plans are being made by the international community to rebuild what was destroyed in Lebanon during Israel's "Grapes of Wrath" campaign against that country; at whose expense will the rebuilding take place, and, in particular, whether compensation is to be paid to the families of those killed in the shelling of Cana and to those who were expelled from their homes in south Lebanon.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyLebanon is eligible for assistance from the EU in the form of grants and European Investment Bank loans. This includes reconstruction assistance. The World Bank recently agreed a 50 million dollars loan to Lebanon specifically for emergency reconstruction and rehabilitation. Other donors are also contributing.
