A five-month pregnant woman who was allegedly set on fire by her husband has died after 11 days fighting for her life in a hospital in Tripoli, Lebanon's second-largest city.

Confirming that Hana Khodor, 21, had succumbed to her injuries, a security source told The National that Lebanon's Internal Security Forces had arrested her husband. His name was not released.

According to reports, Khodor's husband set her on fire because she refused to have an abortion, and he was worried they would not be able to afford raising another child.

A Tripoli-based doctor told The National that Khodor had 100 per cent body burns, adding “no one survive[s] with this type of burn”.

Khdor, who had two children, also lost her unborn baby.

Lebanon's economy collapsed in March 2020, with its currency sinking more than 90 per cent against the dollar on the black market.

Inflation is set to average 178 per cent in 2022.

The country's public debt ballooned to more than $100 billion — about 212 per cent of gross domestic product — in 2021.
