Ngaphezulu kwesigidi se-1.5 sabakhenkethi abatyelele iLebhanon kwiinyanga ezili-10 zokuqala zika-2009, okanye iipesenti ezingama-43 ngaphezulu kwelo xesha lonyaka, umphathiswa wezokhenketho wathi ngoMgqibelo.

"Eli nani libonisa ukunyuka kweepesenti ze-42.7 ngexesha elifanayo ukusuka ku-2008 kunye ne-84 yepesenti yokwanda kwe-2007," isitatimende sobulungiseleli.

Ingxelo yesigidi sabakhenkethi yafika kwilizwe elincinane leMeditera ngoJulayi kuphela, isebe lathi.

Isebe lithe iLebhanon inethemba lokusingatha abakhenkethi abazizigidi ezibini ekupheleni kuka-2009, inani eliphantse lilingane nesiqingatha sabemi belizwe.

Uninzi lwabakhenkethi ngabaphambukeli baseLebhanon kunye nabakhenkethi abavela kwiGulf eneoyile etyebileyo, kodwa ilizwe elincinci leMeditera lifumene ukuthandwa njengendawo yokuya eholideyini phakathi kwabantu baseYurophu.

Ukhenketho eLebhanon luthathe isibetho kule minyaka idlulileyo emva kokubulawa kwabantu okwaqala ngoqhushumbo lwaseBeirut olwabulala owayesakuba yinkulumbuso uRafiq Hariri ngoFebruwari 2005.
