BEIRUT — A Lebanese man has been missing since Tuesday from Rmeileh, in the Chouf district, an Internal Security Forces source confirmed Monday to L'Orient Today.
In a video posted Sunday on social media, Nour Hakim, the missing man's sister, asks anyone who has any information about the whereabouts of her 35-year-old brother, Wassim Hakim, to contact her.
Speaking in the video, she says that "since [he has gone missing] no one has known anything about him, and all of his family is in a state of [mental] collapse."
A source at the Internal Security Forces told L’Orient Today that the man reportedly grapples with mental health problems, and his family contacted the police on Thursday to file a missing person's report, two days after he had disappeared. The ISF is carrying out an investigation to find the man, the source told L’Orient Today.
L’Orient Today was unable to immediately reach the family for comment via the numbers circulated on social media.
