While the search for survivors continues in Lebanon, four days after the explosions at the port of Beirut, more than 60 people are still missing, an official from the Lebanese Ministry of Health said on Saturday (August 8th).

"The death toll stands at 154, including 25 who have not yet been identified," said the official. "In addition, we have 60 people still missing," he said. 

The health ministry said Friday that at least 120 of the more than 5,000 people injured in Tuesday's blast were still in critical condition.
