BEIRUT: An EU-funded project that is
set to help at least 736 Palestinian refugees renovate their homes themselves
was launched today in Beirut’s Mar Elias camp Sunday.
The 6-million-euro ($7.9 million)
project, which focuses on self-reliance, will transfer money directly to the
bank accounts of beneficiaries, who will carry out necessary home repairs on
their own. They will be supervised by UNRWA engineers.
Genoveva Ruiz Calavera, a European Commission
official, said Sunday that the program was a “tangible example of the EU
support to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.” http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2012/Mar-12/166309-eu-to-help-palestinian-refugees-renovate-homes.ashx#axzz1ouRwUPc3
