The explosion in Beirut was the 3^rd largest in the world after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The event which happened on the 4^th August 2020 has caused a tremendous damage to human life and the city infrastructure.

300,000 people are now homeless, and the economic losses are estimated at over $10 billion. Further details can be found on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Beirut_explosion
