Beirut Explosion Devastates Lebanon

A massive explosion ripped through central Beirut, killing at least 135 people, injuring 5,000, and blowing out windows across the city.

​Some are still missing, buried under mountains of broken glass and debris. In addition, over 300,000 are left homeless as high-rise apartment buildings were reduced to rubble.

​Many of our families are directly affected by this tragedy. 


Saint George Hospital and Hopital des Soeurs du Rosaire were so damaged they had to shut down completely.

​
Other hospitals that remained functional had to evacuate blast-damaged areas, and some could not accept new patients. 


​​

The Beirut port handled 60% of the country’s overall imports. 



The explosion destroyed silos that store 85% of Lebanon's grain. Even the surviving wheat was made inedible by the explosion.
