Lebanon’s security forces reached ‘rock bottom, says interior minister

Lebanon’s caretaker interior minister said on Wednesday the country’s security forces were drained and unable to fulfil their duties as a financial meltdown and political deadlock bite.

Lebanon’s financial crisis, which erupted in 2019, has wiped out jobs, locked people out of their bank deposits and raised the risk of widespread hunger.

Lebanon’s economic crisis was compounded after a port explosion in August devastated whole tracts of Beirut, killing 200 people.
