Demonstrators, some of them burning tires, blocked roads across parts of Lebanon on Monday in protest of the country's economic meltdown, days after the Lebanese pound sank to new lows.

Lebanon's economic crisis, which erupted in 2019, has propelled more than three-quarters of the population into poverty and the Lebanese pound has plummeted by over 90% to more than 25,000 against the dollar last week, from a value in 2019 of 1,500.
Roads were blocked by burning tires in central Beirut, Tripoli in northern Lebanon and the southern city of Sidon.
There has been little progress since Prime Minister Najib Mikati's government was appointed in September after more than a year of political deadlock that compounded the crisis.
