Lebanon objection increases as their currency descends

Dozens of people have taken to the streets in cities all over Lebanon amid increasing protests as the country faces a collapse in its currency.

Outrage has surged as the Lebanese pound tumbled to record lows, having lost 70% of its value since October when protests began.

The prime minister has called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the economic crisis.

The protests paused during coronavirus lockdown but recently resumed.
