Preparations for demand week and protests as basic needs cost 1,400 monthly
The article discusses the significant rise in the cost of living for Lebanese families, where a household head balancing housing, food, electricity and water, and transportation needs around $1,400 to $1,500 per month, while the average worker's income is $560 per month, which is insufficient to cover basic necessities. It also points out that prices have increased by approximately 77.3% since summer 2023, with significant hikes in gasoline and bread prices. These conditions come amid preparations for a demanding week of protests and strikes due to ongoing high living costs, amid fears of disorder and political exploitation of the demonstrations.
