The Jiyeh power station oil spill is an ongoing environmental disaster. The disaster was caused by the release of heavy fuel oil into the eastern Mediterranean after storage tanks at the thermal power station in Jiyeh, Lebanon were bombed by Israeli military in mid July. Fifteen thousand tons of heavy fuel have leaked and sunk into the sea. The spill has caused damage to endangered species and fragile coastal ecosystems on the nature reserve. Greenpeace is in the region to identify and document environmental destruction caused by the Israel-Lebanon War. Along with the terrible humanitarian impacts, long-term environmental damage is an inevitable consequence of war.Locations:Lebanon-Middle East-Palm Island Nature ReserveDate:28 Sep, 2006Credit:© Greenpeace / Marco CareMaximum size:2000px X 3008pxKeywords:Aftermaths of war-Disasters-Diving-Electric light-Energy-KWCI (GPI)-Marine pollution-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Oil (fossil fuel)-Oil spills-Oiled beaches-One person-Outdoors-People-Underwater shotsShoot:Effects of Jiyeh Oil Spill and War in LebanonAlong with the terrible humanitarian impacts, long-term environmental damage is an inevitable consequence of war.Related Collections:Effects of Jiyeh Oil Spill and War in Lebanon (Photo & Video)
