Lebanon has recently fallen prey to the horrible forest fires that have plunged the district of Chouf into darkness.

Lebanese citizens residing in the Chouf district had to evacuate the their homes on Tuesday because of the rapidly spreading fires that had completely engulfed the Chouf’s tree-covered mountains.

Lebanese authorities have reported that the forest fires that broke out in the early hours of Monday are a result of the rising temperatures in southern Lebanon.

Videos of the burning forest had started making rounds on the internet and became viral within hours. Dubai citizens are in utter shock of the forest fires that have broken out in the fraternal country and have taken to social media to express their concern and panic.
