Lebanese MPs row as draft budget debated in parliamentBEIRUT: A parliamentary debate on Lebanon’s 2024 draft budget broke out into a row on Wednesday, with MPs accusing the government of “starving citizens” and promoting corruption. The parliament’s General Assembly began discussion on the budget after the government’s initial version was radically amended by the Finance and Budget Committee. An argument broke out between reformist MP Melhem Khalaf and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. The MP stormed out of the hall, warning: “I will not violate the constitution.”Another row also took place between MP Ali Hassan Khalil (Amal Movement) and reformist MP Firas Hamdan. That will destroy all of Lebanon, and the Lebanese are left unable to determine their fate.”In September, the caretaker government approved the 2024 draft budget.

Reconstruction and recovery needs following the catastrophic flooding in eastern Libya last September are estimated at $1.8 billion, according to a new report released today by the World Bank, the United Nations, and the European Union.

The $1.65 billion total of damages and losses account for 3.6 per cent of Libya’s GDP in 2022.

Images taken by satellites and astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) show that Libya’s Kufrah district is not as desolate as it first seems.

As explained by ESA, satellite imagery shows large circles embedded in the Al Kufrah Oasis, each of which has a diameter of nearly 1 kilometer (0.6 miles). Described as “Libya’s Circles of Life”, the circles are the product of numerous sprinklers that use water from the fossil aquifer to irrigate the land, allowing crops to grow.
