A 28-year-old Lebanese woman named Sali Hafiz robbed a bank with her nephew’s toy pistol to get over $10,000 from her bank account to pay for her sister’s cancer treatment. Hafiz’s sister’s cancer treatment costs $50,000.
Lebanese banks have frozen the savings of most depositors for almost three years amid an economic crisis.
Hafiz reveals she could only pull out $200 per month in Lebanese pounds every time she visited the bank.
