Damage to homes, businesses and vital infrastructure moved to the forefront of yesterday’s parliament session. MPs called for urgent action to document losses and pursue international compensation following recent attacks.

The proposal, submitted urgently by MPs Mohammed Salman Al Ahmed, Bader Al Tamimi, Mohammed Al Refai, Mohammed Al Balushi and Hamad Farooq Al Doy, called on the government to form a specialised committee to record damages and prepare a comprehensive legal case at the international level.

MPs said the attacks, which began in late February 2026, left behind more than physical destruction, affecting livelihoods, disrupting businesses and creating uncertainty for families and employers alike.

They stressed that without a structured and timely response, these losses risk remaining unaddressed.

The proposal aims to document all damages in detail, including individual losses, commercial impacts, fatalities and wider economic effects, forming a complete file to support legal claims before international bodies.

Recognition

For those affected, the issue goes beyond procedure. It is about recognition, recovery and the ability to rebuild.

A damaged property can be repaired, but lost income, interrupted work and prolonged uncertainty often carry lasting consequences.

MPs noted that the move aligns with international legal principles that protect civilians and prohibit attacks on non-military targets, stressing Bahrain’s right to seek compensation through recognised global mechanisms.

Coordination

They also pointed to the importance of coordination with Gulf partners and learning from similar international cases to strengthen the process and improve the chances of recovering losses.

As the session concluded, the message was clear, that documenting damage is not only a legal step, but a path towards restoring rights, supporting recovery and ensuring that what was lost is not left without accountability
