Cairo, Aug. 15, 2021, SPA -- Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit expressed condolences and sympathy to Lebanon over the horrific explosion which took place at a fuel tank in the city of Akkar, north Lebanon at dawn today, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. Citing the difficult situation Lebanon is experiencing since the latest Beirut port explosion, Aboul Gheit said Lebanon will be subject to further deterioration unless there is a positive response to international community calls for expediting the formation of a local government in Beirut capable of ensuring security and enforcing law in the country. --SPA 19:01 LOCAL TIME 16:01 GMT 0026 www.spa.gov.sa/w1602978
