A Lebanese woman and her daughters have been killed in the collapse of a residential building in Anfa. Recent heavy rains had forced authorities to evacuate the unsteady local area, but the woman refused to leave despite the pleas of those around her. She had lived in the Anfa house with her family for generations and declined a transfer to a new home. Civil Defense staff recovered the bodies of the family from the rubble of the collapsed block. Recent bad weather has exposed the fragility of constructions across Lebanon as old buildings on the brink of collapse crumble under the harsh conditions. At a time when the Lebanese Cabinet is being pressed to improve the circumstances of Syrian refugees’, local Lebanese citizens are now also calling for action for those left injured or homeless by residential subsidence.
