The Lebanon robbers who only take their own money

The economic crisis in Lebanon, with rising unemployment, a depreciated currency and alarming levels of poverty has caused the population to take desperate actions. The disagreements between savers and banks have reached a new level. In September 2022, a 27-year-old woman broke into her bank in Beirut with a fake gun to rob it. But she wasn’t looking for any money. She went to steal her own money. Why did she rob her own savings?
