The campaign cited the suspicious incident as it renewed its call to reverse the decision to demolish the silos, and to reinforce them instead of neglecting the building’s perimeter –again–, and causing new disasters.

The Director General of the #BeirutPort, Omar Itani, said that the smoke and fire resulted from the “fermented wheat” lying in the heat.

He argued that “the Civil Defense can't be allowed to approach the area because it is not safe, and extinguishing the fire requires a complex procedure.” Meanwhile, residents of the area are increasingly complaining of the fumes emanating from the fire.
