Lebanese lawmaker Cynthia Zarazir gestures behind a glass partition inside a branch of the Byblos Bank, where she is holed up to demand some of her deposits be freed up so she can pay for surgery needed by the end of the week. Banks in Lebanon have applied strict withdrawal limits on foreign currency assets since 2019, amid a historic economic crisis. (Photo by Fadel Itani/NurPhoto)
