Injured people were walking in the street, while outside the Clemenceau Medical Center, dozens of wounded people, many covered in blood, were rushing to be admitted to the center including children.Destroyed cars had been abandoned in the street with their airbags inflated.The loud blasts in Beirut's port area were felt across the city and beyond and some districts lost electricity.

The explosions came at a time when Lebanon is suffering its worst economic crisis in decades, which has left nearly half of the population in poverty.
