Kataeb leader Samy Gemayel on Wednesday condemned the decision to expand the Burj Hammoud waste landfill especially following the environmental damage and health impact on the residents of the area.

During the Cabinet meeting held in the Grand Serail, Gemayel proposed an alternative practical short-term solution and a long-term plan to the waste crisis.

The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Saad Hariri in the presence of Defense Minister Elias Bou Saab and Environment Minister Fady Jreissaty along with several of the Metn district lawmakers.
