While Lebanon bleeds, many essential medicines are unobtainable in mainstream hospitals and pharmacies. Yet in Hezbollah-land a parallel system of health facilities exists where a full spectrum of cheap Iran-imported drugs are readily available.
Hezbollah uses its control of the health ministry to systematically divert medical funds for its own purposes. Hospitals damaged by the Aug. 4 Beirut port explosion, while treating thousands of injured blast victims, lost out on funds but the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Rassoul Al-Azam Hospital, far from the blast zone, raked in $3.6m in additional funding. With its system of parallel ATMs from which dollars are miraculously available parallel schools, parallel banks, parallel economies, parallel systems for paying salaries Hezbollah is profiteering from Lebanon’s demise.

A worldwide search is under way for Hezbollah assets to retrieve $100 million in court-ordered compensation for families of victims and survivors of a suicide bus bombing in Bulgaria that killed six people,
The National can reveal.
Lawyers instructed by about 50 people affected by the attack on a tour bus are considering legal action in the US, UK and elsewhere to try to pierce the veil around the funding of the Iran-backed terrorist group.
A Bulgarian court sentenced two men in their absence to life imprisonment in September and ordered them to pay more than 100 million Bulgarian lev ($67m) to relatives of the six dead – five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver – and another 40 people wounded in the 2012 attack.
