Beirut Fish Market Reopens after Renovation
The fish market in Beirut's Karantina area was reopened on Tuesday more than two weeks after it was shut down for renovation.
Governor of Beirut Ziad Shebib ordered on February 5 the closure of the market for not meeting health standards.
Shebib took a similar measure in November when he ordered the Karantina slaughterhouse shut after health ministry inspectors revealed bad safety and health conditions.
The abattoir is now under renovation.
The closure of the facilities came as part of a campaign launched by Health Minister Wael Abou Faour in October to press for better health and food safety standards.
