The Health Ministry said Sunday it will investigate the death of a baby girl whose family said she was not able to access proper hospital treatment amid Lebanon's severe medical shortages.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday said that Lebanon is “on the verge of collapse,” in reference to the country’s severe economic and financial crisis.

Barely two hours after Lydia landed from Marseille in France, friends and relatives flocked to her apartment to collect drugs that have vanished from Lebanese pharmacies because of crippling shortages.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday criticized both President Michel Aoun and PM-designate Saad Hariri for the delay in forming a new government.

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri is mulling to quit the mission of forming a new government because “every day is being worse than the day before,” al-Mustaqbal Movement deputy chief Mustafa Alloush said on Sunday.

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri “has not yet decided to step down” although “this is one of the serious option on the table,” an ex-PM has said.

For the seventh time in a year, Lebanon's economy ministry has announced new prices for bread, slowly removing subsidies as the country sinks deeper into a dire economic and political crisis.

The ministry said raising the price was necessary as the national currency continues to slide against the dollar, making imports of basic supplies including fuel and wheat more expensive. The currency, pegged to the dollar for nearly 30 years at 1,500 to the dollar, has lost over 90% of its value. It is now trading at nearly 20,000 Lebanese pounds to the dollar.

A major power station in Lebanon is to resume operations on Sunday, two days after it ground to a halt due to a lack of fuel at a time of constant power cuts and economic collapse.

The Israeli army on Saturday announced that it overnight thwarted the “biggest smuggling attempt of the past few years on the Lebanese-Israeli border.”

Free Patriotic Movement head Jebran Bassil has accused PM-designate Saad Hariri of “slaughtering the country,” while lamenting that “those who wanted to burn the presidential tenure have burned the entire country.”
