Al-Litani Authority Acts on Housh Hala Pollution
The National Authority for the Litani River has announced that it has initiated urgent judicial and administrative procedures to address the violations and pollution uncovered by its team in the stream of Housh Hala, one of the tributaries of the Litani River. Investigations revealed illegal encroachments, livestock farms, tents, as well as the discharge of wastewater, animal waste, and waste directly into the river, leading to severe pollution and posing a threat to public health, soil, and groundwater. The authority has called on the government to remove the violations, stop contaminated discharges, address pollution sources, hold responsible parties accountable, verify any prior permits that may have been issued, and reaffirm that there are no legal rights to pollute the public river property. A formal request has also been sent to the Minister of Energy and Water to confirm or deny the existence of any permits, emphasize the importance of monitoring the responsible entities, and pursue any neglect in protecting the river to safeguard the environment and the state's rights.
