Lebanon could gradually face total darkness as electricity funds run low – Roya News English

Thursday, the Lebanese caretaker government said in statements that Lebanon could face total darkness as finances for electricity will run out this month.

“We should not forget that starting May 15, gradual darkness will start,” parliament member Nazih Negm was quoted saying after a meeting with the finance and energy ministers.

Notably, Lebanon’s parliament had approved a $200 million emergency loan in March to be allocated for fuel imports for power generation, however, no approvals have been made so far.
