Akkar Rejects Landfill Transfer
The issue of transporting waste from northern cities, especially Tripoli, to the Sarar landfill in Akkar has become the subject of widespread debate and both popular and official discussions. Residents of Akkar strongly refuse to turn their region into a waste dump, affirming that the landfill does not meet legal standards and poses risks to the environment and public health, particularly to groundwater and soil. Despite the government's attempts to explore alternative options, civil activism in Akkar remains cautious about any efforts to establish a permanent dump in the area, emphasizing that the waste crisis should be addressed through in-region treatment rather than at the expense of residents’ health and the safety of the land. The Federation of Al-Fayhaa Municipalities clarified that temporary solutions include options like the Sarar landfill, provided that legal and environmental conditions are strictly met, and that no area should bear the burden of waste without clear guarantees. The focus should be on sustainable solutions that prioritize environmental protection and public health.
