The Lebanese Civil Defense confronted the fires for two days, but the lack of equipment and the large-scale expansion of fires led to its inability to resist fires. Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri confirmed his contact with a number of countries to send assistance via helicopters and firefighting planes,[1] In response to these calls, Cyprus rushed to send two planes that participated with Lebanese army helicopters in the suppression operations.[2] Jordan, Turkey and Greece also participated in firefighting. According to press reports on Tuesday (October 15th), fire has decreased in different places due to the rains,[3] after mosques called on citizens to perform raining prayers.[4] [5] [6]
