epa10224632 Supporters of Lebanese parliament member Cynthia Zarazir wait outside of a Byblos bank branch in Antelias, north Beirut, Lebanon, 05 October 2022. Zarazir entered the Antelias branch of Byblos Bank on the morning of 05 October to demand 8,500 US dollars of her savings to pay for surgery costs that were not covered by her health insurance, her lawyer Fouad Debs said from inside the bank. In September, banks were closed for three days as a precautionary measure after bank branches were stormed in different parts of Lebanon as people grow desperate to get back their money, as banks only allow depositors to withdraw limited amounts in US dollars.
