Location on the Lebanese territory

Activists temporarily suspended their activities at the Naameh landfill Friday afternoon after a police crackdown earlier in the day cleared the way for Sukleen to resume dumping at the site serving Beirut and Mount Lebanon.

Protesters have been blocking the access road to the Naameh landfill on and off since Jan. 17, repeatedly bringing trash collection in Beirut to a standstill. The road, however, was opened during the police raid early Friday morning.
