As Lebanon is falling apart, so are its people. It's a perfect scenario for criminal gangs. Off the Grid meets the people who are resorting to crime to survive.
Once dubbed the Switzerland of the Middle East, Lebanon now lacks basically everything from fuel to medicine. Being smuggled into war-torn Syria next door only makes things worse.
But one commodity is widely available: weapons. We explore how the rise of poverty has led to a surge in violence in a country where life is becoming harder by the day.

From Darfur to the capital Khartoum, we've uncovered ruthless recruiting networks and spoken to those who risked a terrifying escape to break free from a conflict that isn't theirs.
Abdelrazak went to look for gold. But he was kidnapped and sold to Libyan militias who forced him to fight alongside Khalifa Haftar's troops as they tried to get hold of the capital Tripoli. He ended up taking part in massacres similar to those that decimated his family in the early 2000s.
Ayman signed a contract for a security job in the United Arab Emirates. But he landed in the Libyan desert where he received three months of intense military training, ranging from using Kalashnikovs, digging trenches and drafting battle plans.
