Un incendie provoqué par l’explosion d’une bonbonne de gaz a tué ce mardi 30 avril au moins huit personnes dans un restaurant de Beyrouth, ont rapporté le ministre libanais de l’Intérieur et les pompiers.

“Huit victimes sont décédées par asphyxie à l’intérieur du restaurant”, a indiqué l’agence de presse officielle (Ani) citant les pompiers de Beyrouth.

L’incendie éteint

Les pompiers ont éteint un incendie dans un petit restaurant de la capitale après qu'”une fuite de gaz a provoqué une explosion dans le restaurant”, a ajouté l’Ani, citant la même source.

Le ministre de l’Intérieur, Bassam Mawlawi, qui s’est rendu sur les lieux, a déclaré à la presse qu’au moins huit personnes avaient été tuées “par asphyxie”.

L’accident “montre que cet endroit ne respectait pas les normes de sécurité publique”, a déploré le député Ibrahim Mneimneh, qui s’est également rendu sur les lieux.

L’économie du Liban est en chute libre depuis fin 2019, aggravant un problème de contrôle public de longue date dans différents secteurs.
