Lebanon’s state electricity company says the country's two main power plants were forced to shut down after running out of fuel.
FILE - In this Monday, March 29, 2021 file photo, the capital city of Beirut remains in darkness during a power outage as the sun sets, in Lebanon. The state electricity company said Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021, that Lebanon's two main power plants were forced to shut down after running out of fuel, leaving the small country with no government-produced power.
The shortage of diesel and fuel, along with an antiquated infrastructure, has worsened power cuts that have been a fixture for years. Blackouts that used to last for three to six hours could now leave entire areas with no more than two hours of state power a day. The government has gradually raised prices of fuel and diesel as the central bank cut back on subsidizing dollars for imports, adding to the hardships in Lebanon, where about three quarters of the population has plunged into poverty over the last year.
