The Lebanese passport crisis to be solved

The public sector and government institutions in Lebanon are facing a funding crisis as a result of the collapse of the local currency by 2000% since 2019, which was reflected in a significant decline in the ability of the Lebanese government to operate public facilities and institutions such as real estate and financial affairs and official administrative transactions, which led to almost complete paralysis in their work, and a shortage Fatal in logistics and office supplies. For example, if you want to renew your passport, you have to wait for a long period, perhaps up to more than six months. So there is a crisis in issuing passports to the Lebanese, but it seems that this crisis has begun to ease. To shed light on this topic, we were joined by the publisher of Newsfolio, the journalist Gilbert Rizk.
