Hezbollah not only has armed and political wings it also boasts an extensive social development programme. The group currently operates at least four hospitals, 12 clinics, 12 schools and two agricultural centres that provide farmers with technical assistance and training. It also has an environmental department and an extensive social assistance programme. Medical care is also cheaper than in most of the countrys private hospitals and free for Hezbollah members.
Most of these institutions are located in the countrys more marginalised areas, such as Beiruts southern suburbs, in South Lebanon and in the Bekaa Valley. We have special sections all over the country that provide financial and food assistance to the poor, said Hezbollah spokesman Hussein Nabulsi. We also run an emergency fund for instant care in case of immediate hospitalisation.
Condemning them as simply criminals and terrorists is an oversimplification.
No.They are a terrorist organization. Black panthers and JDL had extensive social assistance programs.
It's clothing to dress them up. It doesn't change what they are.
