STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Lebanese citizens, including retired military personnel, on Wednesday took to the streets to protest against the dire living conditions.
Since 2019, Lebanon has been facing a steep financial crisis, which plunged more than 80 percent of the Lebanese population into poverty.
The crisis also forced banks to place restrictions on withdrawals of deposits in Lebanese pounds and U.S. dollars which caused the loss of people's savings.
The country has so far failed to implement necessary reforms to unlock aid from the International Monetary Fund and put the country on the path of recovery.
