Beirut: Picking Up the Pieces | RT Documentary

In August 2020, around 300,000 people became homeless in Beirut. The horrific explosion rocked the port in Lebanese capital, killing hundreds and injuring thousands. But not only the port was destroyed, as scores of buildings were ruined in 10 km around the blast. Thousands of tonnes of ammonium nitrate have been stored for years in the port with no safety measures in place.

Now many who lost their loved ones are still waiting for the government to name the culprits. The tragedy has prompted a fury among the residents, who call for an imminent action. They want to know who was aware of the danger but did nothing to prevent the explosion.
