Collective Action

Baalbeck towns residents protest water cuts

Residents of multiple towns in Baalbeck blocked roads Saturday to protest water cuts in multiple villages in the area.

The head of the Union of East Baalbeck Municipalities Jaafar al-Musawi called on Energy Minister Nada Boustani to resolve the issue of the water supply, which he said was due to one contractor handing the water distribution to another.
