Lebanese residents clashed with police late Thursday as they tried to approach government buildings in central Beirut.

Police responded with tear gas and dispersed the crowd.

Beirut residents showed their anger against the government during a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Many Lebanese blame the disaster on the country's political elites, accusing them of corruption and mismanagement.
