The old airport road outside Beirut was blocked Tuesday evening in protest at an electricity crisis that has been engulfing the country since last week. “A number of young men from the Bir Hassan region blocked the old airport road outside al-Rawda High School with burning tires and trash dumpsters,” state-run National News Agency reported. Firefighting vehicles and security forces have since arrived at the location to address the situation, NNA said.
