BEIRUT, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- The rainy weather that hit Lebanon over the weekend left roads and houses flooded with water and added more snow to the country's mountain peaks, the National News Agency (NNA) reported Sunday.

Beirut witnessed heavy rains that caused large pools of water in some areas. Some roads were closed due to flooding. In the mountains, a dense fog hindered visibility for drivers.

According to the NNA report, the Red Cross staff overnight Saturday evacuated and assisted several Syrian refugee families in Akkar whose camps were flooded with water.

It added that 43 families from one of the camps in Akkar's al-Samounieh were evacuated to another camp.

It said that around 330 blankets were distributed to seven camps in Akkar Valley adding that as many as 160 families required assistance.

In north Lebanon's Koura, the heavy rains caused damage to farmland, ground floors and warehouses. Flooding also impacted residents and Syrian refugees in the Bekaa.

On Sunday, Bekaa Governor Kamal Abou Jaoudeh gave the order for 21 Syrian refugee families to be evacuated due to flooding in Taanayel.

Abou Joudeh also followed up on a rock slide in Zahle's Jdita.

The morning weather bulletin released by the Meteorological Department at Rafik Hariri International Airport said that Sunday's forecast will see snowfall in areas at an altitude of 1,300 meters until the afternoon.
