Beirut: The Ministry of Information announced that, with the support of the UNESCO Regional Office in Beirut, the "Fact Check Lebanon" unit at the Ministry has been reactivated. This move is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the credibility of media work and promote a culture of information verification in Lebanon.

According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the Ministry pointed out that the public can now follow the unit's activities through its official online platform, https://factchecklebanon.nna-leb.gov.lb/.
