Because of waste, a black cloud covered the atmosphere of towns in Nabatieh

This afternoon, a thick black cloud of smoke covered the atmosphere of the towns of Al-Kfour, Toul, Al-Duwair, Al-Sharqiya, Habbouch, Deir Al-Zahrani and the city of Nabatieh, resulting from the burning of huge quantities of waste, tires and dangerous industrial materials in a random waste dump in the Toul area on the eastern outskirts of the town of Al-Duwair.

The spread of unpleasant odors in the aforementioned towns led to shortness of breath and health problems among many elderly people and children.

Every now and then, unidentified persons set fire to the waste accumulated in the area, in light of the refusal of the municipalities in which the landfill is geographically located to put an end to this environmental and health disaster that threatens citizens with cancerous diseases.
