ISF retirees storm Interior Ministry as they protest dire living conditions

Dozens of Internal Security Forces retirees stormed Tuesday the premises of the Interior Ministry, as Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi refused to meet them and listen to their demands, media reports said.

The retired ISF members protested deteriorating living conditions, as the Lebanese pound reached Tuesday LL27,000 low against the dollar.

They asked for their rights to secure health care, medications and education for their children.

The protesters said they will not end the protest until their needs are met.

Earlier today, security forces members shad closed the road leading to the Ministry of Interior in Hamra, which caused a traffic jam in the area.
