‘I need my salary’

Depositors scuffled and long lines formed at Lebanese banks yesterday as they partially reopened after a week-long closure following a slew of heists by customers desperate to access their money. But most banks remained shut, welcoming only a handful of depositors on appointment, and there was anger from those seeking to withdraw frozen funds desperately needed to weather a crushing economic crisis.At a closed Beirut branch of Fransabank, dozens of soldiers, internal security forces members and customers had queued for hours. "I don't care about anything, I need my salary," one ISF member yelled from behind the locked gates.
