It will be a year, Wednesday, that Beirut was rocked by a gigantic explosion which left more than 200 dead, as well as thousands of wounded.

This powerful explosion completely destroyed the port of Beirut, where a large quantity of ammonium nitrate was stored.

A year after the disaster, many gray areas remain, no one responsible has been tried and the victims and their families remain mobilized to demand the truth.
