The Lebanese capital wakes up in shock on Wednesday. Two strong explosions rocked Beirut last night, causing at least 100 dead and nearly 4,000 injured in the Lebanese capital, according to the latest report from the Red Cross. The first elements of the investigation show that they were caused by the combustion of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse. This substance caused several industrial accidents, including the explosion of the AZF factory in Toulouse in 2001.
Since the tragedy, several testimonies have reported a completely devastated city. The hospitals in the area are saturated. The windows of the buildings were blown for several kilometers around.
