Protests have been raging in Tripoli, Lebanon's second-largest city, for over a week. Hundreds of angry protesters took to the streets on 25 January demanding jobs, support from the government and solutions to the many economic and social crises plaguing the country.
The latest wave of protests was triggered by the extension of a severe lockdown and the imposition of a round-the-clock nationwide curfew.
Protesters threw stones and fire bombs, torching the Tripoli municipality building; police and army used tear gas, rubber bullets and live fire.
