Lebanese brace for protests amid inflation and fuel hikes
Protests and strikes continue in Lebanon due to the worsening living conditions, rising fuel prices, and limited job opportunities. Unions and workers are preparing to carry out a general strike that will include all sectors, in protest against the deteriorating economic and living situation. This is occurring amidst political tension and rampant inflation, which threaten an social explosion that could lead to the fall of the government. Additionally, price hikes, especially in fuel costs, are having widespread effects on the economy, with unions demanding increases in transportation allowances and teachers’ salaries, as the ongoing crisis continues to place enormous pressure on the Lebanese people.
