The Disaster Risk Management Unit at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers:
All rumors regarding the site being prepared in Karantina are unfounded.
This site is being prepared as a precautionary measure and is not for immediate use, noting that its intended purpose has not yet been determined.
The site is located outside the Beirut Port area and does not affect the operations or workflow there in any way. It is about one kilometer away from residential neighborhoods.
When the site becomes operational, it will be accompanied by the necessary measures to ensure public safety and maintain good relations with the local community.
The area is under the supervision of the Army and the relevant security forces.
