The impact of Storm Zina continued to be felt across Lebanon on Thursday, 08 Jan 14 as a cold snap brought unusually low temperatures to the coast and some mountainous towns remained cut off by snow. All public, private and vocational schools as well as nurseries will remain closed on Friday, 09 Jan 15 the third consecutive day, at the request of the ministers of education and health. The storm also caused a new casualty overnight, with exposure to cold killing a two-month-old toddler in the Akkar town of Bebnin.
