On 4 August 2020, a massive warehouse exploded in Beirut harbor, triggering a shockwave that damaged several major hospitals, numerous businesses and houses in the Greater Beirut area, leaving more than 300,000 people homeless and livelihoods threatened (UNOCHA). The explosion hits Lebanon as it faces a multi-faceted crisis, featuring economic contraction, increasing poverty, inflation and exposure to COVID-19. The pressure on already overwhelmed hospitals and social tensions have compounded needs among Lebanese people as well as refugees. The blast has directly affected the source of income of many households already hit by COVID-19 lockdown measures. Access to food is a concern as Lebanon is heavily dependent on imports from the port.
