Protests erupted on Wednesday outside the headquarters of Lebanon's Central Bank. Angry demonstrators clashed with security forces over the country's economic crisis after the Lebanese pound sank to a record low against the US dollar.
Lebanon's pound has collapsed since 2019 when the economy crumbled under a mountain of debt.
