In Lebanon, after the explosion that devastated Beirut on August 4, 2020, the Foundation�s Veoliaforce experts took emergency action on August 11. An assessment and technical diagnostics were carried out alongside the Beirut Water Authority and with the support of OTV�s branch office in Lebanon. Equipment was dispatched and staff trained. The intervention allowed a targeted response to be defined to help ensure the widest possible resumption of service in the disaster area. In partnership with Unicef, the mission then continued with a new team of Veoliaforce volunteers tasked with carrying out a major leak detection operation. This was necessary in order to coordinate the repair of the primary and secondary water distribution networks.
