In one of the photos published by the organization, the floor of a room can be seen to have collapsed.
The two injured were taken to Taalbaya Hospital, added the Civil Defense on the X social network.
A source within the organization suggested that the landslide was due to the bad weather affecting Lebanon, but was unable to confirm this hypothesis with any certainty.
Several similar incidents have been reported recently, notably in Tripoli (North Lebanon).
