Following the meeting, Kumar Jha stressed that the World Bank is working on projects and programs in Lebanon, especially in the economic fields and the development of social safety nets, adding that “he agreed with Berri to launch a campaign to encourage registration on the platform for families who can benefit from this program.”

He also said that “the Speaker affirmed that the ratification of recent amendments included in the ration card Law will be ratified in the near future."

"We are looking forward to launching the platform tomorrow, and we hope to provide the necessary financial assistance during this period,” Kumar Jha mentioned.
