Lebanon's PM reportedly promised to compensate Lebanese affected by war

Lebanon's Al Akhbar newspaper reports that prime minister Najib Mikati is committed to paying compensations to those affected by the border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel, which have been taking place since 8 October.

Specifically, Mikati said the government would pay $20,000 (roughly £15,727) to the family of every person killed, and $40,000 (roughly £31,454) for every home destroyed.

Al Akhbar says the government is working on ways to secure the funds, which will be granted once the war ends.
