YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Protestors took to the streets in northern Lebanon as the national currency hit a new low and food prices surged. The anti-government protests prevented medical teams from conducting coronavirus tests across the country.

The demonstrations turned into clashes between protesters and security forces after dozens of young men smashed the fronts of local banks and set fire to an army vehicle.

The discourse blocked major roads leading from Beirut, preventing medical teams from leaving Beirut to conduct coronavirus tests around the country. The Health ministry said it would be trying again Tuesday.
