Child Labour In Lebanon As Economic Crisis Worsens

BEIRUT, LEBANON - AUGUST 13: Children selling roses use roller-skates by the sea in Beirut, Lebanon, on August 13, 2021. Lebanon's economic crisis (one of the worst the world has seen in over a century according to the World Bank) has resulted in a surge of children going out to work. Save the Children recently reported a "dramatic increase" in the number of children working in Lebanon, coming across 306 cases of child labour in the first half of this year compared to 346 cases over the whole of 2020.
