A masked Lebanese protester stands in front of burning tyres and Arabic graffiti on the ground that reads "Thieves" during protests outside banks in Beirut on February 16, 2023, one day after the Lebanese pound hit a record low against the dollar on the black market. - The country's grinding political and economic crises shows no signs of abating as the pound has lost more than 95 percent of its value against the greenback since the start of the economic collapse in 2019.
