Fly Invasion in Baalbek

W300

A wave of flies is causing an environmental and humanitarian hazard in the eastern Baalbek town of al-Hellaniyeh valley, keeping residents indoor, media reports said Friday.

An Nahar daily quoted a resident as saying that a farmer spread fertilizers imported from Arab countries on a 1000-square-meter land in the town without mixing it with the soil. This has attracted the flies.

The residents complained about the tragic situation and asked the environment and health ministries to solve the problem. They said asthma cases and bites increased since the flies began invading the area.

The town’s Imam, Sheikh Hussein al-Hellani, said that residents tried in vain to spray pesticides and insecticides. “The flies began spreading as a result of the fertilizers," he told An Nahar.

In remarks to LBCI TV station, al-Hellani pleaded for help to solve the intolerable situation.
