In this Monday, December 23, 2019, photo, a volunteer serves food at a public Christmas dinner, as an initiative to help those in need, in Martyrs Square where anti-government activists are encamped in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanon is entering its third month of protests, the economic pinch is hurting everyone, and the government is paralyzed. So people are resorting to what they've done in previous crises: They rely on each other, not the state. (Photo by Maya Alleruzzo/AP Photo)
