Hizbollah seeks donations for survival

Lebanon’s Hizbollah yesterday called on its supporters to donate money as it comes under increasing pressure from Western sanctions intended to isolate it financially.

The US deems all parts of Hizbollah a terrorist organisation and has been steadily increasing financial sanctions against the Iran-backed movement.

“I announce today that the resistance is in need of its (popular base),” Hizbollah’s Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said, adding that donations were needed to support the group’s activities.
