Migrant domestic workers help with Beirut Clean-up
In a stirring expression of solidarity with Lebanon, dozens of foreign workers were seen cleaning up in Martyrs' Square Sunday morning, following protests Saturday that descended into chaos. During the protests, security forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas as demonstrators stormed and ransacked several government buildings, in a show of anger against a state widely blamed for Tuesday’s monster explosion at the port.
