Yesterday, a number of Lebanese stormed the building of the Ministry of Energy and Water in Beirut, in protest against the harsh rationing of electric current, and later the security forces worked to remove the protesters from the ministry building.

It is noteworthy that Lebanon has been suffering since the end of the Lebanese civil war (1990) of rationing of electric power for periods that vary from one region to another, and successive governments have not been able since that date to agree on a solution that secures the electric current permanently.

Lebanon has been witnessing severe rationing for months, due to the economic and financial crisis it is going through, as the hours of electricity feeding provided by the Electricité du Liban do not exceed two hours per day.
