These two Hezbollah volunteers are going building to building to assess the damage done to apartments in the Dahiyeh building. “We did preliminary assessments during the conflict on a daily basis,” one engineer told us, “and now we are going back through to see if the apartments are totally destroyed or can be repaired. We have given out a hotline number to people to call us so we can come and give them assistance. If their apartment is not livable, we will give them money to rent an apartment until we can rebuild one for them.”
