“Search and rescue operations will not stop until the missing are found,” said army spokesman Elias Aad during a press conference. The army spokesman said the figure was compiled from data submitted by the country’s Internal Security Forces, in coordination with the Red Cross. The explosion of a huge stockpile of ammonium nitrate fertiliser in the port of Beirut also injured at least 6,500 people and left tens of thousands more homeless, piling new misery on the city after months of economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic.
