Lebanese business tycoon Hajj Salah Ezzidine has declared himself bankrupt, leaving thousands of citizens unemployed in Beirut’s southern suburbs as well as in south and east Lebanon.
The daily As-Safir on Monday said the job loss of these people was estimated at millions of dollars.
It said Ezzidine, from Maaroub near the southern port city of Tyre, is director of Dar al-Hadi for publication and owner of al-Hadi television station for children.
