A woman with a toy gun grabs her savings from a Beirut bank

Sali Hafez (center), accompanied by activists, looks at her phone on Wednesday after breaking into a BLOM Bank branch in Beirut, Lebanon, brandishing what she later said was a toy pistol and taking $13,000 from her trapped savings account.

She broke into a bank branch, taking $13,000 from her trapped savings amid strict limits on withdrawals set by Lebanese banks. She said she needed the money to fund her sister's cancer treatment.
