'What does Beirut look like?β Life in Lebanon after the port explosion
On 4 August, a massive blast devastated the Beirut port area. A huge store of ammonium nitrate in a warehouse is thought to have been the cause of the explosion.Β Now, the broken city is on the road to recovery.
Two weeks on from the explosion that killed more than 220 people and left up to 300,000 homeless, the city has begun rebuilding itself while coming to terms with the reality of what has happened.
