Who to Call in Khiam
The emergency numbers, hospital, water, council and unexploded-ordnance lines a Khiam household needs — with tappable numbers.
The numbers a household in Khiam actually needs, in one place. The emergency short codes work from any phone, anywhere in Lebanon — save them before you need them. Where a number could not be independently verified, it has been left off rather than risk sending you to the wrong place.
Emergencies: 112, 125 or 140
For police call 112, for fire or rescue call the Civil Defense on 125, and for an ambulance call the Lebanese Red Cross on 140 or the Civil Defense on 125. All are free national numbers.
Found something that might be unexploded? Do not touch it
The fields around Khiam were bulldozed in the war and unexploded shells and cluster munitions remain in fields, rubble and along roads, and the Army has warned that homes may be booby-trapped. If you see a suspicious item, do not touch, move or kick it, keep children well back, move away the way you came, and call the Civil Defense on 125, the Lebanese Army on 1701, or the Lebanon Mine Action Center on 05 956 143. Never try to move or defuse it yourself — clearing it is the job of trained teams.
