Electricity partially restored in Lebanon – Roya News English

The Lebanese Ministry of Energy Sunday announced the partial restart of the electricity network after the army provided fuel supplies. 

A ministry statement said that "the army (handed over) a total quantity of 6000 kiloliters of gas-oil divided equally between the Deir Ammar and Al-Zahrani plants," allowing electricity to be provided for a few hours a day.

The impact of an economic collapse that has been ongoing for two years in Lebanon, which the World Bank has ranked among the worst in the world since 1850, has cut electricity in the country down to a mere two hours a day in many cases.
