Beirut Crisis

I am raising funds in support of the devastating and
catastrophic explosion which tore across the City of Beirut on 4th July 2020. 

Approximately 137 killed and possibly more leaving with thousands injured. The explosion reported caused by 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate, a toxic gas, which had been stored unsafely for six years in a warehouse.

The horrific explosions happened at the Capital's Port, which has led to a state of emergency. Around 300,00 are homeless and food stocks destroyed. The explosion destroyed several hospitals in the city, taking three out of service, and forced other hospitals to turn away patients, with some forced to treat patients in the street due to serve damage. At least 5 nurses died on Tuesday 4th July. 

Before this tragic blast in Lebanon's capital on Tuesday, the country was already weak suffering an economic crisis, rolling blackouts and global Covid.19 pandemic.

One upon a time Lebanon was referred to as “Switzerland of the Middle East” before the civil war in the country. Today, the country is still enriched with social history and cultural memory however now it's people need our help.
