On 4 August, at around 6:00pm, a warehouse at the Beirut Port containing large quantities of ammonium nitrate exploded. After an initial explosion, a subsequent blast caused widespread damage, with reports of damage reaching more than 20 km from the port area. The explosions and ensuing fires reportedly released toxic materials in the environment. Official governmental reports estimate that 214 people were killed, over 8,000 injured, and more than 300,000 people left homeless in the Greater Beirut area/Mount Lebanon. Tens of buildings in the port area including grain silos storing around 85 percent of the country’s grain, and numerous residential places have also been damaged or destroyed, including many healthcare facilities and several major hospitals in Greater Beirut area, due to the blast.
