Groups of volunteers continued to assist in the cleanup efforts in Beirut on Thursday, focusing on clearing up the debris from apartments and houses in the aftermath of the recent deadly explosions at the city's port.
The volunteers were filmed going into an apartment where they swept the shattered glass and other debris from its floors. The footage also captures the damage in the apartment, followed by people swiping the streets and handing out food and water.
On Tuesday afternoon, powerful explosions rocked Beirut's port, resulting in the deaths of at least 135 people and injuring at least 5,000, according to preliminary reports.
The blasts are thought to have been caused by the still unexplained ignition of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive chemical material which was reportedly stored without precautionary measures at the port, according to Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab.
Results of an investigation into the causes of the incident are expected to be released in the upcoming days.
