Beirut: Environment Minister, Tamara El Zein, and CNRS Secretary-General, Chadi Abdallah, on Thursday launched a national study on the environmental impact of Israeli attacks on Lebanon (2023-2025), on Earth Day. El Zein described the damage as "environmental genocide," affecting forests, air, water, and soil with long-term risks to public health and food security. The report outlines recovery guidelines, cost estimates (about $300 million for urgent interventions), and documentation for legal claims. According to National Nws Aency - Lebanon, Abdallah said the study reflects eight months of scientific work, including soil, radiation, and environmental assessments. The comprehensive analysis underscores the critical need for urgent interventions to restore Lebanon's ecological balance and safeguard the well-being of its population. The study provides a framework for addressing the severe environmental degradation caused by the attacks, emphasizing the necessity for international support and collaboration in implementing the proposed recovery measures.
