Minister of Environment Fadi Jreissati said on Tuesday that the waste crisis in the country is more important than the economic crisis.

“We are in a state of emergency because the situation is unbearable,” Jreissati said following a meeting with the environment committee.

“I don’t know what is hindering the discussion of the plan that I suggested it in the Cabinet,” he stressed.

Jreissati also noted that there will be no economy, tourism, health nor agriculture without finding a solution for the waste crisis.
