Caretaker Public Works and Transport Minister Ali Hamieh wrote today on his “X” platform account: “On the fourth anniversary of the August 4 explosion in the port of Beirut, it is necessary to pay tribute to the souls of the victims, whose memory will remain immortal in the hearts of all Lebanese, and condolences and sympathy must be renewed to the suffering families, assuring them and all the Lebanese, that the blood that was shed on this land has triggered in us an inexhaustible, burning determination…”
He added, “Accordingly, our covenant was, still is, and will remain to all Lebanese that the endeavor we had started to activate, improve, and develop the port’s services and its reconstruction will continue and go on, so that it would return as a vibrant facility on the one hand, and a source of hope and trust on the other hand, by resuming the role it deserves, just as all these oppressed people who fell victims to this painful incident had hoped for and aspired to achieve.”
