Lebanon’s currency, the lira, has lost about 95 percent of its value since the start of the country's economic meltdown in 2019.
It is now trading at close to 50,000 to $1.
Instead of implementing much-needed reforms, the political elite is accused of creating a confusing exchange rate system that is hurting people who rely on it the most.
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports from Beirut, Lebanon.
