The three Syrian workers who died of suffocation in the Marj area of West Bekaa, Lebanon in an incident that occurred around August 14, 2025, were not identified by name in the initial news reports. News coverage confirmed that the bodies of the three men were removed from the manhole by the Masnaa Civil Defense team and transported to the Bekaa Governmental Hospital. The men were performing maintenance work, and the incident occurred when two workers went down into the shaft first and lost consciousness due to a combination of toxic gases and lack of oxygen; the third man died attempting to rescue them. The specific names of the victims were not publicly released in the sources reviewed, which often happens in such cases involving migrant workers or refugees in Lebanon.
