Lebanese Environment Minister Tamara al-Zein followed up with Nabatieh Appellate Public Prosecutor Judge Najat Abu Chakra on the steps being taken in response to the ministry’s request to open an investigation into fires involving solid waste at an unregulated dump in the Kfour area. The request was made in a letter sent by the ministry on October 29, 2026. The investigation aims to establish the causes of the fires and determine responsibility, including whether they resulted from spontaneous combustion, an external ignition source, or shortcomings in management and oversight. Experts are to be consulted if needed. Al-Zein called for engineering solutions, including covering the waste with an insulating layer of soil if the fires are found to have been caused by a buildup of gases. She said she would continue to follow up on the legal proceedings and urged municipalities to step up monitoring and collect waste regularly.
