The gigantic explosion that rocked the capital city of Lebanon on Tuesday blew out windows and buildings across the city and was felt as far as a hundred miles away. As of this morning, more than 4,000 people are reported to be injured and at least 70 have been pronounced dead, with thousands more missing. CNN reports two Filipinos killed and eight are injured.

Reports point the origin of the explosion to be a warehouse with unsafe storing of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a chemical that explodes violently when in contact with open flames. Lebanon’s Supreme Defence Council has already launched an investigation and vowed that those responsible would face the “maximum punishment” possible.

A massive explosion in Beirut, Lebanon just took place. This is not a movie scene. It just happened. This is a video of the explosions in 7 different angles. Pray for Lebanon

We woke up to heartbreaking footage of the aftermath on social media showing collapsed houses, glass everywhere on the streets, and hospitals overwhelmed with patients. Countries have reacted to the devastating events by extending their sympathies and offering help and support including Qatar, Iran, Israel, the UK, and the US.

Interviewing ER doctors at some of Beirut’s biggest hospitals, and they are crying. St. George Hospital is destroyed. Patients streamed down the stairs to exit the hospital, bc elevators were damaged. Children being treated for cancer are now wounded from flying glass shards.

The grieving people of Lebanon need all the help they can get from around the world. Outside this explosion, the country is fighting the coronavirus pandemic and extreme poverty that has already caused many to go hungry. Even if we are far away, we can extend a helping hand and offer resources through these methods:
