The repetitive war episodes, the quasi-missing environment awareness, and the prevailing political considerations, make the wastes issue a real headache. According to Ricardo Khoury, from the environment consulting office – Elard, who contributed to the evaluation of after-war ecological damages within the United National Environment Program (UNEP), “the war made this chronic problem even worse. Israeli attacks revealed two major problems that exacerbated the dramatic Lebanese ecological situation: on the one hand solid wastes and construction and demolition remains, and on the other hand oil slick wastes. In addition, we don’t have treatment infrastructure. We barely have an infrastructure for domestic wastes.”
