Beirut explosion: Remembering victims of the deadly blast

Al Jazeera  

It has been one week since a massive explosion caused by the ignition of some 2,750 tonnes of stored ammonium nitrate devastated Lebanon’s capital. Thousands of people on Tuesday gathered in Beirut where a moment of silence was held by for the victims of the catastrophic explosion, which killed at least 171 people, according to the health ministry’s latest tally. Questions remain as to why such a huge stash of dangerous material – used in bombs and fertilisers – was allowed to be stored at Beirut’s port since 2013. Nearly two dozen people are still unaccounted for and were believed to be close to the warehouse where the blast took place.
