The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Environment Minister Confirms Landfills Expansion Plan
Environment Minister Fady Jreissati on Monday confirmed that the existing landfills in Burj Hammoud and Costa Brava will be "temporarily" expanded, warning that the failure to do so will cause waste to pile up again on the streets across Metn and Beirut.
“The final solution does not include establishing landfills along the coast, but we will for now expand the existing ones," Jreissati said during a tour at the Costa Brava landfill.
“I cannot be held responsible for the period during which I was not in office."
“I have never presented any plan to establish a landfill along the coast, but there are things which we are forced to do,” Jreissati stated, promising to resolve the problem of the foul smells emanating from the landfills, especially the one in Burj Hammoud.
Kataeb MP Elias Hankache fired back at the minister's disavowal of his predecessor's policy and actions, adding that Jreissati is actually affiliates to the same political force as former Minister Tarek Al-Khatib.
“What happened to your promises of sustainable solutions”? Hankache asked via Twitter.
"Once again you are making people choose between the bad and the worse," he added. “For how long will the residents of Dekwaneh, Sin el Fil, Burj Hammoud, Jdeideh, Sad el Bauchrieh, Zalka and Jal El Dib endure pollution, foul smells and diseases?"
