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.

The comprehensive analysis underscores the critical need for urgent interventions to restore Lebanon's ecological balance and safeguard the well-being of its population.
