We commemorate today the tragedy that took place on August 4, 2020, in Beirut. A man-made disaster, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, that killed 214 people, left more than 6,000 injured, and shattered the lives and livelihoods of thousands across Lebanon.

Lots of respect 4 the Lebanese Red Cross:
13 teams from the Lebanese Red Cross are responding to the protests in downtown Beirut. Over 40 people, until now, have been transported to nearby hospitals and over 65 people have been treated at the scene. Extra teams are on standby and are ready to intervene.
