Lebanon's economic crash leaves prisoners forgotten with little medical care

Late 2019 has seen Lebanon experience a severe economic crisis. This includes a huge currency depreciation and shortages of fuel, medicine, and electricity.

Lebanese currency lost 90% of its value. This means that salaries can’t buy basic goods such as food and sanitary products, while power outages are widespread due to fuel shortages. Prisons are overcrowded, and inmates don’t have access to medical care unless they pay privately.
