Date:
Thursday, April 14, 2022
قانون رقم 289
إعطاء تعويضات ومعاشات تقاعدية لذوي الضحايا اللبنانيين الذين قضوا في تفجير 15 آب 2021 في بلدة التليل العكارية وتمكين اللبنانيين الذين أصيبوا منهم من الاستفادة من التقديمات الصحية وبحقوق ذوي الاحتياجات الإضافية
Parliament approved allocating a salary for the families of the victims of the Aug. 15 Tleil explosion in Akkar. The allocation is set at the same rate as for a soldier who has fallen in the line of duty. Moreover, those injured will receive 100 percent health coverage from the Health Ministry. However, the victims of the blast will not be considered martyrs in the same way the Aug. 4 victims were, and so are not entitled to health treatment at military hospitals.
