LEBANON has finally got the lights back on some 24 hours after the country was plunged into total darkness by fuel shortages.

The country's electricity grid powered back after the army supplied 160,000 gallons of fuel to the country's two top power stations.
It came after the Deir Ammar and Zahrani plants shut down due to a lack of fuel supply on Saturday.
