Al-Ghobeiry Municipal Police uncovers a disaster in the warehouses of Sports City. Flour is susceptible to water, moisture and air. Thousands of tons of flour from aid sent from the State of Iraq are stored poorly in the stands and in the basement halls. https://t.co/hIXKVE42Pc
This flour was supposed to be distributed to bakeries in order to increase the bread portions from 900 g to 1000 g / bag. https://t.co/y2GMZ5P9ZQ
Security forces arrested 3 Egyptians who tried to smuggle subsidized medicine to Egypt.

Maan Khalil: "The failure that the economy minister is primarily responsible for is spoiling the flour, even if it is just one kilogram. When accountability of the banking agents and of the exclusive agencies begins, then we can believe in reform and fighting corruption.

"The flour stored in Sports City, the gift of the brotherly Iraqi people to the Lebanese people, was handed over to a minister who is not trusted to fight corruption."

Note: Maan Khalil is close to Hezbullah. The economy minister is close to FPM. https://t.co/ixjAMGUa8N
Note #2: The bakeries refused to get this free flour so they can keep importing subsidized flour. Importing it at 1,500 LL gives them a huge profit margin.

It is said that half of the flour aid is still on a ship.
Israel: Military Analyst for Walla Amir Bohbot:

"The Israeli security system is surprised that the Beirut port explosion did not discourage Hezbollah from seeking revenge against Israel for the killing of the Hezbollah activist months ago." https://t.co/a0Ov4YlbcO
