RuptlyProtesters march in Beirut on Saturday, June 13, to rally against the current government as the Lebanese pound plummets despite a new pricing system, losing over 60% of its value since protests began in October.
Protests against allegations of government corruption broke out last year, as Lebanon was facing its worst economic crisis in decades, with soaring unemployment and the ongoing currency crisis that is rapidly depleting the value of the local currency relative to the US dollar.
The lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak has added further pressure on the struggling Lebanese economy, prompting a new wave of protests despite social distancing restrictions.
