Ramadan as a Test for Hezbollah’s Financial State For years, #Hezbollah has conducted social and volunteer activities during Ramadan to support the community in #Lebanon. However, this year, the organization faces significant challenges due to the war with Israel and the economic and military difficulties it is experiencing. In the past, Hezbollah invested substantial resources in financial donations, food distribution, health days, and free medical treatments for citizens as part of its efforts to establish influence among relevant populations and maintain its base’s support. This year, unlike previous years, it seems that there are relatively fewer extensive aid activities by the organization. Most of its funds appear to be directed primarily toward rebuilding homes and infrastructure destroyed during the war. Hezbollah prioritizes its financial resources for rehabilitating its infrastructure and the Shiite population’s infrastructure that was affected instead of continuing the extensive donation and activity tradition it previously upheld during Ramadan. In the attached image, you can see a social activity that Hezbollah has decided to maintain and prioritize. The ” Zain Al-Abidin Kitchen” charity in Beirut. The charity voluntarily cooks thousands of hot meals and distributes them to needy families.
