Since Friday evening, reports have been circulating concerning a ship named “Rahma” with a flag of Panama heading from a Turkish port toward Lebanon and transporting cows infected with Anthrax that were banned from Turkey.
The Agriculture Ministry denied these reports, saying that any trader seeking to buy cattle from abroad needs to inform the authorities, and no ship can head towards Lebanon without the authorities being informed.
In this regard, Agriculture Minister Ghazi Zeaiter reassured the Lebanese that this ship will not dock at any of the Lebanese ports.
