You might not believe your eyes when you find out that the attached footage was taken on actual Lebanese soil. The region where this footage was shot is represented within the Parliament but somehow seems to be part of a no man’s land.

The crew of MTV’s Tahkik hosted by Mrs. Claude Abu Nader Hindi returned to the field following a summer-long sabbatical. The show kicks off this week with an episode that will take the viewers to Akkar, threatened by an environmental disaster following years of governmental neglect.

With tons of trash headed its way, the region is facing growing threats every single day, as its water reserves could soon be contaminated.

The attached footage features a small sample of the heartbreaking sights. Make sure you tune in to “Tahkik” this Sunday for the full journey and findings.
