According to Sawt Beirut international’s sources, this decision has several benefits, as it prevents traders from monopolizing all the goods that the citizen needs, especially those related to food and medicine, and it also prevents the exploitation of this monopoly to raise prices, and its risks lie in organizational matters, that is, in the process of controlling the crossings.
