Batroun-Tripoli Road Floods With “Waterfall” After Heavy Rains
Lebanese people found themselves stuck and drowning on the Batroun-Tripoli road this morning as the poorly maintained highway began to flood after heavy rains.
A “waterfall” even formed as the roadside partially collapsed, and water began hurling down the side of the road, causing chaos in the area.
The flooded roads resulted in severe traffic jams until municipality workers were sent in to clear the drains.
Every single year, our roads and highways flood and our government acts surprised about it.
