Ministry of Economy Cracks Down on Illegal Shops in Furn Shebbak
The Ministry of Economy has launched a control campaign in the area of Furn el-Shebbak closing down illegal stores.
A number of shops were closed down, some for hiring non-Lebanese workers without a work permit, and for being illegally rented and owned by Syrian nationals.
Lebanon hosts nearly one million Syrian refugees -- a significant burden for a country of four million people -- and there has been mounting pressure for them to go back to Syria even though the UN says many areas remain unsafe.
