Geagea: Trash Crisis Will not Pass Without Accountability
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea stressed on Thursday that the waste management crisis that drowned the capital and Mount Lebanon with trash for almost 10 days will not pass by without accountability.
“In all cases, the trash crisis issue will not pass without accountability,” said Geagea via Twitter.
“Today, no human mind can accept landfilling waste at an altitude above 1,000 meters because that contaminates the groundwater and destroys the health of the Lebanese,” he added.
Beirut has drowned in a trash crisis management and the streets overflew with waste since the closure of the Naameh landfill on July 17.
Naameh landfill receives the trash from Beirut and Mount Lebanon.
The main company in charge of collecting trash stopped its work as well amid a dispute over the country's largest trash dump.
The collection restarted after a temporary deal was found to begin taking trash to several landfills in undisclosed locations.
Some of the temporary deals suggested by few parties was to dump the garbage in areas of Mount Lebanon mainly in areas that have been eroded by stone crushers.
However, officials of the said areas refused the suggestion saying that dumping trash at high altitudes affects the groundwater and harms the residents.

@mowaten E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T. Still laughing since the day you made the statement you were not sectarian but rather secular shia. So clever is your sense of humor. Thank you!

I was thinking the same, exactly the same mowaten. Sulkleen is owned by Hariri as you said and our problem is because Hariri told Sukleen to stop collecting the garbage. I just hope people don't think we are the same poster simply because we share the same views on Hariri.

Geagea knows everything about waste management.
He managed to dispose tons of chemical/nuclear toxic barrels and containers down in our fresh Lebanese seas during the 80s war in exchange for millions of dollars.
Even another reason why our cancer rate is so high in Lebanon.

Geagea is saying the right thing. Burying waste in the mountains will poison the water and cause more environmental disasters.
