A video of a Lebanese man trying to set himself on fire has gone viral on social media.
The middle-aged man can be seen in the streets trying to pour inflammable material on his body, and residents are urging him not to do so.
The visible angry man is said to be upset with the decision of Lebanese Education ministry.
The authorities took the decision to arbitrarily close his daughter's class.
The video showed passersby and residents grabbed man forcing him to drop the material and the idea of self-immolation.
In July 2021, a Lebanese man sets himself on fire amid poor living conditions.
Lebanon is facing a severe economic crisis, with the local currency losing nearly all its value against the US dollar.
