The reasons why this person was burned and his health were not known either.
It is noteworthy that Lebanon is going through a serious economic crisis, which has been going on for about a year, with which the exchange rate of the dollar rose from 1500 to about 10,000 Lebanese pounds, causing a decrease in the purchasing power of many citizens.
Figures from the State Administration of Statistics showed that inflation in Lebanon, whose plight has worsened since it defaulted on sovereign debt in March, rose to 89.74 percent year-on-year in June from 56.53 percent in May. .
