On the morning of Thursday 31st of October, the security forces proceeded to remove the tents in which more than seventy displaced persons were living in Ramlet al-Bayda.
The Disaster and Crisis Management Unit in the Beirut Governorate had announced that the displaced persons in the tents on the Beirut seafront would be transferred to a new shelter center in the Karantina area that can accommodate them. However, non-Lebanese communities were not part of the relocation plan. Authorities are using force and evicting without securing alternatives, hence ignoring the state of war and massive displacement crisis for which the public authorities themselves bear part of the responsibility.
