Zimbabweans sleep outside banks as cash crisis worsens

After running out of US dollar reserves, some Zimbabwean banks have limited cash withdrawals to 50 dollars a day.

Harare, Zimbabwe - A large line snakes its way down a dimly-lit street, as a group of bleary-eyed men waits patiently outside a bank in Zimbabwe's capital.

Some of them have been coming here for days, spending their nights lying on uncomfortable cardboard boxes in the hope
that when morning comes they will be able to withdraw some money amid worsening cash shortages.

"It's painful," a young man told Al Jazeera. "We leave our families at home. Sleep put here in the dark, in the cold. We don't even remember what our beds feel like anymore. It is disgraceful."
