Description
Members of the Lebanese army gather outside the Hamra branch of Federal Bank as a customer, armed with a rifle and threatening to set himself ablaze, holds the bank's workers hostage, demanding to withdraw his trapped savings to pay hospital fees. The incident is the latest between local banks and angry depositors unable to access their savings held in cash-starved banks because of informal capital controls in economic crisis-hit Lebanon.
