Taking a stand against violence, a group of women from the neighbourhood Achrafieh lead a march from the Ring Bridge in Beirut to the Khandaq al-Ghamiq neighbourhood, calling for unity regardless of sectarian background. They are greeted with flowers by female residents of the Khandaq neighbourhood. The two groups then together walk the street of the neighbourhood in unison. Meanwhile several cases of suicide are being linked to the deteriorating living conditions amid the worsening financial crisis, sparking public outrage. In Arsal, a father of two, Naji Fleity, 40, commits suicide after losing his job at a stone quarry leaving him unable to provide for his family.
