BEIRUT/TRIPOLI - A Lebanese man was killed in Tripoli on Thursday in clashes between security forces and protesters angry that a strict lockdown has left them with no means to survive the economy’s collapse.Witnesses and local media said riot police fired live bullets as protesters tried to storm the northern city’s government building.
The police did not immediately respond to a question on whether live rounds had been fired and a protester was killed. It marked the third straight night of violence in one of Lebanon’s poorest cities, after the government imposed a 24-hour curfew this month to curb a COVID-19 outbreak that has killed more than 2,500.Aid workers warn that with little to no aid, the lockdown is piling extra hardship on the poor, now more than half the population. Many rely on daily wages.
The Red Cross said rescuers took 35 people to hospitals, which are fighting high COVID-19 infection levels even as they cope with damage from the huge August explosion at Beirut port.
