They added that the burning of rubbish at night has increased at a high rate compared to the previous one, as a result of population increase and urban expansion witnessed by the brain since its liberation in March 2017.
They demanded that the landfill be moved out of Mocha in Jabal al-Nar, warning that urbanization eastward would make the site of the current landfill downtown.
