Breaking: Building Collapses In Achrafieh Due To Heavy Rains

A building in the Medawar neighborhood of Achrafieh has collapsed after last night and this morning’s continuous heavy rains. It had sustained damage during the horrific explosion of August 4.



Thankfully, the building was empty and had no occupants as it was previously flagged as unsafe. Security Forces released a statement late last night warning citizens to steer clear from damaged buildings near the port area for fear of collapse.

Our hearts go out to the many homes that are still waiting for their windows and roofs to go back up during this cold and horrific weather, with no help at all from those in power.
