global struggle for water. thirst starts august 10th on d. w. ah, ah. tripoli, in northern lebanon, the poorest city in the country, and located around 30 kilometers from the syrian border. most of the shops in the center are closed down. a booming business just 2 years ago today, the gold market district resembles a ghost town. the only customers now our residents looking to cash in their remaining belongings. here, hey, i came to sell you this ring. oh and this 12, that's 18. carrot gold. this pensioner is parting with her last items of jewelry. they're all she has to ensure her survival. i'm the on our situation is terrible.

our government is letting us die. shame about the jewelry, but i have 4 children to feed me $155.00. that's all for you. okay. then i've got some silver too. she's selling her husband's wedding ring to buy some food for her family. derek and i'll buy some flower, rice bogus, and a bit of meat may god help us handle. ready electric, the po tripoli is bearing the full brunt of the economic crisis that has crippled the country. not $5000.00 for a bunch of charged me. a few stalls still have a full range of products on offer, but the price is of food have shot up. how much is the fish the 70000 pounds? we've dropped the price by 5000 when thanks. how much for the chicken legs for the 40000 pounds and the next sell for 28000 over. we used to feed them to the doctor

today, we'd them ourselves on the chicken legs and the fish valet cost 15 times more than they did 2 years ago. but while prices are going through the roof, wages across lebanon have remained static, and as seen in tripoli, getting enough to eat that has become a daily challenge. as it just imagine, back in the days of our former prime minister who the government now coals incompetent, get his bag of rice cost 2500 pounds to day. it's 7 times that. how's that supposed to work? how a poor people in this country supposed to 8 of all the 128 representatives, or rather to plate idiots. there's not a single one of them who's decent and humane only about the owner. the dummy. oh, raging discontent has been building now for several years. on october 17th, 2019, it exploded. for the

1st time since the end of the civil war, a broad cross section of lebanese society joined together and took to the streets in unison to demand that the corrupt government resigned. it wasn't so long ago when lebanon was described as the switzerland of the middle east. the economy was strong, and the country attract that investment from all around the globe. the small country shares borders with syria and israel. for decades now, government cabinet positions have been assigned by religious affiliation and distributed among christians, sunni muslims, and shia muslims. a delicate compromise that had long been stable but everything changed in 2019 the banking system collapsed. investors and dollars fled the country. inflation rose to higher than 140 per cent, the highest rate in the world at that time. if we only earn

a quarter of what we stand in, the lebanese pound or lira lost 90 percent of its value. lots of monopoly money would have appeared. the one opened this unprecedented crisis has plunged a large portion of lebanon's population into poverty. see the pelican if it hadn't been for the christian community, they would have starved literally starved or mold. the government failed to maintain investments. now electricity is supplied for just a few hours each day. that's lebanon to day. and for over a decade now, lebanon has also had to master an influx of 1500000 refugees from syria, some blame the government for driving the country to bankruptcy. also, given its supposed control over entire sectors. this is one of the last corrupted areas. love even 11 am. i believe in the universe. the crisis has

re ignited tensions between the different religious groups. for many lebanese, their last resort is to leave the country. me hands up if you want to lead lebanon off to college. it's the only hope of a better future, and reflects a lebanon fighting for its survival. this is ash raphael, a christian district of bay root father gabrielle, is getting ready to say mass. he's catholic, a jesuit and french speaking like his congregation and the majority of the countries christian middle class. people come here to do more than hear the word of the lord. many are also in attendance to hear the critical words of the priests sermons. this is today's gospel is really timely. yes. what should we do?

good. christmas is just around the corner and we can only hope for the penitence of our political class. you can only hope that our political class asks in the sense of saint john. what should we do? he would tell them, give back the money you stole and leave this land. go work on your hands on the french riviera. i won't say more because i want to sleep in my bed and you do too long, whose gabrielle makes politically charged digressions like this because he's experiencing the crisis 1st hand. you'll make sure you've gotten to them. i'll give you 10 kilos of mile every week. the priest leaves they route and travels to because a mountainous region and the eastern part of the country. just like he does every time he gets in his car, gabrielle checks the fuel gauge. they

come and the answer, every time the tank is down to 2 thirds get gas so it doesn't feel like you're paying so much that will mother up please. the price of gas has risen $6.00 fooled within one year of how much my brother? $300000.00 t go even. i got thanks. while so we're fill again for you 300000. let's math lesson seafood. so, 20 leaders of gas costs half the monthly minimum income in lebanon, exorbitant prices that severely limit the ability of people to get from a to b. said the last, it's amazing is hardly any traffic for what's it gets. imagine the off to tree off in harris at rush hour on a monday with about 2 thirds fewer cars at and then deals of the plant. i think

that's the way it is. here on one is this is settled on suck. why? debbie? els consternation stems from the fact that 3 years ago, lebanon was doing pretty well. gasoline was cheap, people had work, the currency was stable. today, it's all falling apart. and members of the country's middle class are among the 1st to lose out. they'd been called the new vo, popa, the new poor them after a 2 hour drive. father gabriella arrives exactly. since the start of the crisis, the christian city of $80000.00 residence has become a ghost town. there is not a soul to be seen on the traditional shopping street. the elderly and isolated

residents are experiencing the worst societal degradation in their history. a local charity group helps the poorest of the poor. gabrielle lends a hand with its members every week. how are you, father? in a fine thanks, keith. we've got a lot to do today. mother the hood. a good a bit. mr. our goal is to get hungry. people who don't have money, something to eat, the cost estie. they're prepared meals that will just get fits because of these. here are the salads. so here we have desserts, as of it, and beset, and those are the warm meal jelly. pleasure. okay, so not to day father gabriella is working alongside to rashida and uh, let's go to jeanette, she's on it. i put everything on the table for you when, when and how about the bills? i can share my brothers help me and every month they give me a little money. i'm gonna pay with god bless you have my sister the charity supports more than 200 families. when where can i put this together?

i know you have a good. how are you? i my dear father. thank you for coming. thank you. leave . christie, alaska, in lebanon pensions can be paid out monthly, or be received in a one time payment. isabella was a teacher for 30 years and chose the lump sum option. 300 euros. it's lovely here, mozilla, thalia, missed that we used to be better off and can buying heating oil and weren't. and now everything's extremely expensive. the i have trouble with my eyes and need injections. but a single injection costs 800000 pounds. plus the doctor's fee of $350000.00. he didn't give me the injection this month because i couldn't pay for the one from last month. so what if you miss an injection?

the law he prescribed drops and sent that i should come back in 6 weeks time may give it the law. what can i do given how can you live like this? i mean, i think if, when you only earn a quarter of what you spend an abundance of the bill, i'm masterful. not devout study, can each injection cost the equivalent of $50.00 euros. gabrielle does all he can to help her with. i to the here take the 300000. that's for the shots. it's from jeezy. esl had them on this thanks. it's too much. at the end of the street, they find greater hardship and rage. this family has lived here for 20 years. the father used to be a painter. he's jobless. now, in the current economic situation, it's impossible to find another job. they simply have no income. inside there's a tiny kitchen, a toilet, and a living room, which the entire family also uses as

a bedroom. and the refrigerator is desperately bare. come over. what do you do when you want to make a new for the family? oh, sometimes i go to the market and the vendors give me food. they haven't sold for tele otherwise. they're still the johan a restaurant. we can get some food that to appease accident gung isn't getting us. well may be dead. if he said he, because the mother puts her faith in god, while her husband looks to human assistance such as that provided by gabrielle. oh, how do you use the heating let her along to what's the so forth until hockey no, no, it's just the shows. huh. that she'd be awesome on she, on the law, does it make you mad that the state doesn't take care of you here that we had a lotta. what can i say? i don't have any work. and i've got 5 people to vmc. i'm and that's not, do you have the state? not real estate? sure. what state law we'd stop without the help of these charities. like if you

were working before the crisis, you could pay your electric bill. no trouble with the inflation we have today. that's impossible. it's far too expensive, homes, me, how are you supposed to manage without going out on the street and begging on it either militia, downgrade with 36 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty. that's nearly 5 times more than 2 years ago. so community, what would have happened to this family without the christian community? cuz they would have starved. he's literally literally starved lee gun or modify lucy? well, yeah, a la shippable communities across the country, whether christian muslim or drew's are relying on local charity to survive. nobody saw this kind of brutal economic collapse coming in which for many people daily

life has become a nightmare within just 2 years. and should have fought a southern suburb of bay route. we visit a grocery store. brianna has been running the shop for the last 4 years. the ongoing crisis in the country has seen him become a master of improvisation. fluffy, got up, there's no electricity any more. so i can't shut my blinds. any more government hick mom his sexual now he has a new morning ritual. no. so once i get here, if i turn on the phone and check the dollar exchange rate law dollars a dish. the lira and the dollar have always existed side by side and lebanon's economy until 2019 the exchange rate between the 2 currencies with stable with $1.00 equal to $1500.00 pounds. the exchange rate changes daily. on this morning,

a dollar was worth $21000.00 pounds, almost 15 times more than 2 years ago. i de mom bought the dollar right, keeps rising. so supply price is a rising to well after continually adjust my prices. you can you give me the calculator machine as your own little ok mix? well, that's, di makes 1.2 liters. sub ghosts today. cost 16800 pounds. so thus we're put 80 sent on to that. and so, okay. price it at 19824 pounds, but this a 1000 me out of our street. oh, that's how he's now pricing his products, which even he has trouble finding the state is only providing one to 2 hours of electricity a day in this area to keep frozen foods from spoiling rianne has had to make further adjustments out about fun. i use my fina, i can't be selling products that make people sick about,

so i decided to only keep using one freezer and unplugged the rest a little bit. i've also had to reduce my selection of phones. you bought that as if by magic the electricity comes back on at noon. oh. c the staff can get back to work as normal my eggs, potatoes not so for more than a year now, ryanne hasn't earned a proper profit at his shop. some months. he doesn't even break even. ah, lebanon is currently a shadow of its former self in more ways. than 1 may root was once the nightlight capital of the middle east, but for most those all night parties are now a distant memory. with the dollar has become a scarce commodity in lebanon.

a series of foreign investors left the country in 2019 due to dwindling confidence in the lebanese government. their departure sparks, the nation's financial collapse. the lira lost almost to 90 percent of its value with lebanon's banks set severe withdrawal limits for those lebanese who had dollars. the aim was supposedly to prevent the state going bankrupt. rebecca hasn't had any access to some of her bank accounts since 2019 so here it says, god limit exceeded. so i cannot to enjoy anymore as if i exceeded the limits. but i haven't to enjoy any of the others and more than one. so yeah, a shady she does have more than $10000.00 on this account, but in light of the situation in lebanon,

it's impossible to say that money still exists. garcia at city one, press, one not for su, as daughter and one live in the year. whether you good, fresh dollars, fresh dollars is all the daughters that were transferred from outside after plant 2019. the other daughter is the one to stuck in the bank. this is everything that you have done before 2019. you can also do any of that any, any of that. you just see it. and to get approved, the only fresh you can make, jo. these fresh dollars are akin to the holy grail for those who have access to them. they come from outside the country and are now worth a fortune when exchanged against the d valued local currency. they've led to the development of a new privilege, social class, or next stop as a beach resort. nearby truen, an hours drive north of a route. here there are a number of people who have been left unscathed by the crisis.

the big supermarket chains are still crowded for there. are you, joseph? now when it's early. forty's moved here 4 years ago. this is my village. i'm here often show up about 3 or 4 times a week. a man joseph is a sales representative at an international pharmaceutical company and he gets his monthly salary in dollars. what found the where are the right promoters? nice, right. one. ok. thanks to those fresh dollars, joseph and his wife romane, now live like royalty and ruin lebanon down call. expensive. now, in lebanon. nice table. yes. if you're not lemony the by. no, i am but lebanese with fresh money. so it's such

a new now. so when you type of lebanese new type of lebanese before, it was like for $10.00, only the bottom now for the really been is it's like a 2000. they cannot afford it anymore. it's nothing for me to 1000 lire, joseph monthly salary as $3000.00 or $60000000.00 lebanese pounds. have you become rich? yes, i've gotten rid of a new lease. we're buying every day items, we don't look at the price anymore. rami as a primary school teacher, she's paid and lebanese pounds without josephs dollars. she wouldn't manage to get by now the couple have no reason to worry when they approach the check out their bill to day 685000 pound livable. that's equivalent to $30.00 about equal to the minimum monthly wage in lebanon. a minimum wage that is plummeted by a factor of 15 in 2 years. it's now lower than the minimum income in afghanistan.

joseph and his wife have built a house in this residential area in the hills above that room. they started the undertaking in 2017 when they took out a 20 year mortgage for $50000000.00 lebanese pounds. but with a local currency collapsing, their 150 square meter house, cost them only about $2500.00. it was a sum they paid back in 2 months. ah, yes, russia. there are 3 rooms on and a 4th room on the upper floor in the back oh fault, but found that a shawl. we're only using it as a storage room right now. laundry sean, but we have 3 floors. so not too, i thought you see this sunday they've invited friends to lunch. oh oh

oh, joseph receives his guests with a meal fit for royalty. they need, i think more than minutes. he wants to share his new well with others. in the, the agency is rami is of public servant, for example, each month he's paid and lebanese pounds of issued. so for this friend of the couple buying a $6.00 bottle of wine was a huge expense, a gym to rebuild. for margie la, i get paid about 80 or $85.00 a month. that's enough to fill the car twice with gas in the door hub, benzene before the end. i owned about $1200.00 last many now about $80.00. the difference is enormous either for me, despite the inflation in lebanon, wages have never been adjusted. gabels. oh, good luck. as the friends make a toast of joseph and zell, hang in there. only about 13 percent of the lebanese population are paid in

dollars. every one else is paying a hefty bill for this crisis. the absurdity of the situation has driven some to campaign for a fairer economy. rebecca has an appointment with her lawyer. as usual, there is no power across the country. you'll hear the same reaction if it's something that the thing or the vol that's lebanon today. he said a year ago, rebecca decided to file a lawsuit against her bank for illegally withholding her dollars. it would suggest that what happened was we were supposed to have an appointment at b plus banking. yes, but they canceled it. i don't know when we'll be able to resume proceedings in the novel. unfortunately, nothing is moving in our direction at the moment,

but we shouldn't give up. pleasant. oh, good job involvement. no, there's no law allowing this informal freeze on her and other people savings. or they came and fixed that so anyway, the banks were closed for weeks because of the protests is all ho. and when they opened, after 2 weeks, there was nothing left on jan mafia. if we're really dealing with a mafia that decided to steal people's money by transferring it to their own accounts abroad. if you are these people or quality sions, bank is, and the governor of the central bank is henri. i'd salome if we pci the monkey. i reckon it's the biggest scam in history. hong kong we're talking here about $100000000.00. not that just disappeared. la. now found the find a, the saw me out. the good are you on these voted a political and business elite is being blamed for, impoverishing the country to benefit their private interests. in 2019 a french broadcaster asked the governor of the central bank rayon salami about the money that had been wired abroad. lady, very few files fed exist in lebanon,

were free to transfer money. the video fee dump. wonderful, but we're examining events from an ethical standpoint to see it politically exposed . persons who transferred money abroad use their positions in a way that might constitute an abuse of power. in an abuse, of course that are fully shown ironically react salami is himself one of the people accused of taking part in this massive capital flight as a private, individual, missouri. so he and his brother have around $300000000.00 on one of their bank accounts in switzerland. so is that consistent with his bank salary? i, if you certainly not the lebanese banking sector is said to have been functioning for decades like a ponzi or pyramid scheme. a fraudulent financial scam that promise has very attractive interest in order to pay the latter. the banks use the money they get

from new customers, but when that source of money dries up, the pyramid collapses. when the 1st investors fled lebanon, the entire country ended up paying the price. well, if a thong there are people like rebecca's parents who worked their whole lives, loan and thought, and we saved money for our retirement or to allow our children to study abroad a volume and now they're left with nothing. the whole thing is the bank heist of the centurylink so hussain o'clockish. in 2016, a study showed that 90 percent of the majority shareholders and lebanese banks were relatives of politicians. ah, nepotism of this kind has already had devastating consequences. oh,

on august 4th, 2020 warehouse number 12 exploded in the port of bay root. it's contents 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate. a highly flammable and explosive fertilizer stored unattended loo. the horrific accident destroyed entire districts of the capitol within a radius of several kilometers. in total, it left $218.00 people dead, and more than 6 and a half 1000 injured. to the surprise of some, after the disaster, the president of lebanon appealed to the resilience of the lebanese people, rather than focusing on an emergency plan. better with the young ladies and gentlemen, that were to day favorite is trying to raise itself from the ruins, and you need to cram you with the efforts of every single lebanese and with their support. the cities wounds will heal to them and it will rise again just as it has

always done in its history. cohen all about me at around now, but that here. oh oh, the relatives of the victims have yet to find peace even today. on the 4th day of every month, they gather at the board to remember their loved ones. santini . today's my jessica's birthday. i know what it's like when a mother cannot celebrate had daughter's birthday. ah, no home at all. in the space of seconds, my soulmate, my wife, had been taken from me. recently. i spent 34 years with her. so in my the issue is a highly sensitive one. with many blaming the government. the subsequent investigation was entrusted to direct baton. a judge said to be

incorruptible, a remedy, and lebanon. man, all i want is justice, and i hope judge be tar, sees this through to the end. all of us here support him on the initial oliver. but the tars investigation got bogged down this day, march the 3rd time, it was suspended. members of the government who refused to be questioned, were obstructing his work through legal challenges. i'm enough. the judge knows the truth and we know exactly who killed these victims and blew up the port of hamburg wanna madison advised that and there's one man in the country who has a special degree of interest in this case. oh, hello. oh, yes. before with alamos, bianco, macy is an investigative journalist who was relentlessly trying to get to the bottom of the country's corruption. every morning his drive to work takes him past

the port with is he or someone here? idle or from the outside know from the inside because i'm of a lot of it yet. according to kobe, see, several members of the government knew for years about the ammonium nitrate being stored at the port. this is one of the most corrupted areas. not even in lebanon, i believe in the universe, like the black hole of corruption. the says the next and this place is kind like of a microcosm of level is up, but i did my, my famine, a boat that my mother has elected via them about the closest you cannot be appointed. there is that only that you have to be affiliated with a certain part or the other. some people actually love some people. the most of

them made a lot of money in order to be up on to the for example, on come for the custom controller with all calculations used to be fade like $2000.00 per day. but they bad day. and if he could, he got only $2000.00, but they, he would be pissed. according to official statistics, deport earns about $200000000.00 us dollars and income annually. kobe's. he says that without the corruption, that figure would be close to $25000000000.00. journalist takes risks that he takes on the powerful after one of his investigations, he was physically attacked a few years ago by a port official since then, he's been taking precautions my own surveillance system. there are like 10 cams in the car just to make sure that in case anyone decided to attack me just to have my story documented his wife as

a presenter with the same broadcaster. miss lilly, how are you proud of his work? we may, yes, but sometimes he gives me headaches. i might add a death. why? that's good because it's dangerous. i'm afraid something bad will happen. yucca shows to my employer. yeah. leanne. he's scared for you. yeah, i mean i'm sending him the evidence evidence time. i'm sending him this, that's her. it's often you're never going to change your what? i thought you ought. i to act like a gazelle didn't talk. why i'm a veal and kobe's. he refuses to be intimidated. the journalist has published the results of his investigation of the port blast online. his website features the faces of politicians linked to the incident and makes all the evidence he's collected available. that includes

a letter written by colonel joseph's gaff. back in 2014, the customs official had already been sounding the alarm. ah, there's a ship by the name of ross of stockton, key number 11 in the port bay route on board is a large cargo of a dangerous explosive. the constitutes of danger to public safety. we asked that the ship be removed from the king. ultimately, no action was taken. the colonel died and suspicious circumstances in march 2017 despite suspicions of murder, the investigation said the cause of death was an accidental fall. this combination of federal judge of incompetence and negligence of corruption. this is the pure mixture of the bomb itself. i know that there's a lot of corruption in mexico may be and many other counties what not like and live on. why? because there are countries where they're like bowman and nuff us by level on

this cult is owned by the mafia. so they all were called a country drifting, rudderless. and to make matters worse, it's hungry. in this situation, just the tiniest spark could cause tensions to escalate and explode. which is what happened in october 2021 followers of the shia amal movement, which is allied with the powerful has bala party were demonstrating in front of the palace of justice. they demanded that the christian judge to rec, baton, be withdrawn from investigating the explosion at the port. they accused him of being under the influence of foreign powers. and in particular of targeting, she a politician's

sectarianism the plague lebanon was back. late in the afternoon, heavily armed demonstrators went to the entrance of the christian quarter in bay root. within seconds of the situation took a dramatic turn. as the demonstrators came under fire, the subsequent st. battles between christians and she has lasted 5 hours. 7 people were killed. all of them shia ali is 60 years old since his youth, he has been a militia man and the armed wing of the shia amal party, a passing she, a resident then joined the conversation with her building was among those that came under the heaviest fire. as animal federal head,

we were watching the young people in the street and then suddenly they started shooting from this site. and evelyn ran away. i bought up on the 2nd was 2nd. where do you live? that what story? i there. the thing i, a lot of there we were in the apartment, the resident then agrees to us visiting her home as she takes us along to see the damage, the she a militia man. ali follows right on our heels. 6 she's been living here for 14 years with her husband and 3 children. i've been angela. we hid in the bathroom. there was no way out. the shots came from this site. this one was riddled with bullet holes. beckett, it was horrible. but we were terrified that the family filmed the hellish scenes on their phones.

her youngest son, a boss is 13. he's still in shock. and i me, so we put this up as a barricade to protect ourselves. if they came with a rocket launcher, there were 4 of us here. were you afraid of the rocket launchers or yes, they had rocket launches of m fourteen's m sixteens and a few grenades. so as, as abuse and per the good. why i was here not why my name it was here of it. my father here. oh birthday. see him but his ear, my son, my sister, further away and how long were you in there? ah, at least 2 and a half hours. those 2 and a half hours. yes she will you scant. tabitha, a bit not. not sure about the whole family was evacuated after what seemed like an

eternity. are you afraid it was start again? yes, yes of course. express, but i live with the stress on the hello. uh huh cape reminded me of the civil war. i thought here it goes again. the family does not want to see the different religious communities at war with each other. their children go to a christian school and alongside the koran, they even have an image of the patron saint of christians and lebanon. no vase ask our neighbors, are christians, muslims, all religions you will one get by. that's not the problem. at the same time, it almost seems as if ali is getting ready for a possible return of civil war selected men of like all of lebanon, his arm and to have a mind was there. now there are weapons everywhere design salaam in the 1990s, g o. the militia had to surrender their arms to the government kilowatt anonymous. that the amal group did a tooth ebi lately, but when they began to provoke us again that we went out and got some other guns

and one up. yet as well as a militia man, i'm not afraid of. i'm ready to go to war for my partner in the law at gibbons al jerry and the longest gave this. i don't agree with what he sang. it's an absurd war, as that she, it's not in the interests of any one in lebanon to live like that on either module, but not least of up. you live. we want to live in peace and raise our children in peace. mamma never had the letter. it's nonsense that every citizen should be armed as on the model where the loaded up on the lungs. 8 the ghost of bloody sectarianism returned to haunt lebanon on that fateful day. even if a majority of people in the country are trying to exercise this specter. 1000000 lebanese have already left this broken land. public services in all areas have come to a standstill. the government allowed health services to fall into disrepair

as it did public construction projects and the power grid tired of promises of a better life that will never be realised. some are ready to risk their lives, to flee the country. among them is mohammed who lives in tripoli. go get out of the kitchen. the have the 35 year old former to guide lives with his entire family in this 2 room apartment. with his mother, his sisters, and his 4 children. in october 2021. he and his son hudson tried to enter europe illegally by the see the plan was to have the rest of the family follow after they got there. but the trip was a short one of us. it was you mannequin nathan, they were 82 of us and we bought a big boat now. both to be at plan was to go to italy and from day each of us would
