A sudden storm hit a number of neighborhoods in Tripoli on Tuesday evening uprooting palm trees and causing damage to a number of public roads and private property.
Accompanied by massive chunks of ice, the storm caused the uprooting of many palm trees, resulting in their falling on public roads, bringing about damage to a number of private properties.
The Ports and Maritime Transport Authority said on Tuesday that a merchant ship has run aground in the port of Tripoli as it was forced off-course due to bad weather in the face of a sudden storm in Tripoli.
The Authority added that the port administration declared a state of emergency and the temporary suspension of all shipping vessels until an improvement in the weather and stabilization.
“Strong storm caused damage to containers and the severance of vessels from their moorings. Container ship Lady Haloum currently stranded.” Head of the Port of Tripoli told Tabadul.
