Beirut Severe Economic Crisis Causes Explosion Damage to End August 11 19:21

It's been 11 days and a week since the massive explosion in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. The turmoil between politics and society is deepening, as citizens continue to protest to drastically change politics as damage from the explosion hits the already serious economic crisis.

It's been a week since the massive explosion on 4th this month in the port of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

To date, at least 158 ​​people have been killed, more than 6,000 have been injured, dozens of people are still unknown, and some 300,000 are estimated to have lost their homes.

The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but it is believed that the chemical substance "ammonium nitrate" that had been stored in the port warehouse for many years was ignited, which led to a large-scale damage. As the administration became more criticized, the Cabinet took responsibility and resigned on the 10th.

However, in Lebanon, the people's lives have already been exhausted due to the serious economic crisis from before, and even on the 11th day after the Cabinet resigned, it was drastic on the SNS that "Resigning alone is not enough". Voices of reform are being sought one after another, and criticisms of the government continue.

The government wants to quickly identify the cause of the explosion and to set up a new cabinet to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the people, but in a country where different religions and denominations coexist, it is difficult to make adjustments to the Cabinet. This is expected, and political and social turmoil is deepening.

Families who continue to live in broken houses

It's been a week since the massive explosion in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, but the financially underprivileged people continue to live in houses destroyed by the explosion, with no government support.

Yahia was not injured, but his wife had a light injury to his leg, and the window glass at his home was broken, and the roof and walls were severely damaged, such as cracked.

Mr. Yahia is working for metalworking with his wife and two daughters living in four people, but after the explosion there was no work and he was blocked off the income path, and now he is living while saving money ..

For this reason, I can not afford to move to another place, I continue to live in a broken house by taking temporary measures such as putting a transparent sheet on a window with broken glass, but I can get support from the government I have no prospect.

After the explosion, 11-year-old daughter Leah was scared at night and could not sleep, and she is sleeping with Yahia, so we have a bag packed with clothes so that we can escape immediately in case of emergency. ..

Mr. Yahia said, "There is no money, no support, the government does nothing even if the house is broken. It is a difficult situation. I want to escape from here with my family. Tired of tiredness, I am tired of continuing my life. It was."
