The current crisis between Israel and Lebanon has brought Lebanon to a complete standstill. The clear effects of this tension can be seen in the streets and markets of the capital, Beirut. As Aaj Tak’s Ashutosh Mishra reports, Beirut’s main markets and streets were silent. He visited an area of ​​Beirut that was once crowded with tourists but now saw only a few people wandering around.
Silent shadows in crowded places
Most shops in Beirut markets are now closed. The nightlife of this city used to be very nice and attractive. The pubs used to be open and people used to go out at night. In fact, this used to be the tourist season and there used to be a lot of people here, but after the tension with Israel, there was a serious economic crisis here.
Employees don’t get paid
It can be seen in the video that many shops are closed. Even in those places that were open, there were no customers in sight. The road was also silent. Due to the current tensions, business activities are affected. Now, depression is everywhere in places that were once crowded with tourists. People engaged in business activities suffered a severe economic collapse and were unable to even pay their workers’ wages.
The busiest parts of Junee, known for its nightlife, are now virtually closed. No tourists go there now. Locals say business has been hit hard. Many people are looking for new sources of income.
