A group of Lebanese and Palestinians
have set on fire a vehicle and a health clinic of the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East – UNRWA at a camp in the
southern Tyre district.
The National News Agency said the
attack took place at al-Shabriha camp on Tuesday morning to protest the death
of a Lebanese patient married to a Palestinian man after UNRWA rejected to give
her a hospital transfer permit three days ago.
The army and security forces were
immediately dispatched to the area, NNA said. They cordoned off the scene of
the incident and launched an investigation, it added.
Also in the South, 33-year-old Syrian
Hussein Ofeiran was killed while a Lebanese named Jassem Shehade fainted after
inhaling toxic fumes while cleaning a manhole not very far from the waste dump
of the city of Sidon.
Shehade lies in a critical condition
at Hammoud hospital, NNA said.
It added that security forces
launched an investigation into the incident.
