Bank customers help a woman who fainted during a protest organized by Depositors' Outcry, a group campaigning for the rights of depositors, in the Dora area, northern Beirut, Lebanon, 29 August 2024. Bank customers demand they be allowed to withdraw their savings, which have been blocked as a result of the ongoing economic crisis in the country, as the Lebanese pound has lost about 95 percent of its value against the US dollar. The currency was trading on the parallel market at 89,500 against the dollar on 29 August, more than five times the 15,000 official rate. (Photo by Wael Hamzeh/EPA/EFE)
