Lebanese officials warned on port and highway closures over fishermen's demands
Fishermen in Tripoli port staged a protest against official neglect and the lack of support, particularly amid soaring fuel prices and the proliferation of dynamite fishing, which threatens the marine resources and harms the livelihood of thousands of families. Their demands include immediate fuel support, exemption of fishing equipment from taxes and customs duties, and security action to stop illegal fishing. They have also warned that their protests will escalate if their demands are not met. Trade union representatives pointed out that the crisis is worsening, with a gas cylinder now costing $32, while fishing equipment remains expensive. They called for increased support and held the government responsible for issues affecting the coast. The protesters threatened to close the Port of Tripoli and the main highway until their demands are fulfilled, with the participation of various community groups.
