Malika (France) ready to march, in front of the Ouzai complex.
Some children playgrounds were established with money from the French government. France has shown interest in the families living in the complex and was following up on their situation through the NGO Première Urgence-Aide Médicale Internationale. However, families say the relief provided by this organization has also recently decreased.cmfacivilmarchforaleppolebanonaugust220SaidaJiyehcamprefugeessidon

Waste management has long been a politically explosive problem in Lebanon. In summer 2015 the government suspended trash collection, causing street protests in Beirut. Authorities said they had solved the issue in March 2016. In fact, contractors were simply shifting the trash - some of it toxic - to coastal dumps. By 2016, an estimated 2 million metric tons of waste sat on the shore. /DWcmfacivilmarchforaleppolebanonaugust220SaidaJiyehlisasidonwastetrashpollution
Malika (France) marching along the beach. Among the wildlife affected are threatened sea turtles that return to the Lebanese coast each year to lay their eggs. The Mediterranean is a habitat in a constant flow, that moves pollutants from one part to the other. The damages do not only affect one part, but will cover the whole environment. /DW
