“Lebanon is not the only country that contains garbage; many other regional countries have been able to solve their waste crisis,” Hankache told Voice of Lebanon radio station.

“What is the plan you have adopted today so as to reach a sustainable solution regarding the garbage issue now that the period given to ramp the Burj-Hammoud- Jdeideh landfill has almost passed? Hankache asked addressing the Environment Minister.
