Trash Crisis Looms in Beirut as Finance Ministry Withholds Payments
The streets of Beirut and its suburbs may soon be overwhelmed with uncollected garbage during the upcoming Eid al-Adha holiday, as a financial standoff between Lebanon’s Finance Ministry and waste management contractors threatens to halt trash collection.
