At least 100 people have died and thousands were more injured in the massive explosion in Lebanon’s capital, the Red Cross said

BEIRUT—At least 100 people have died and thousands more were injured in the massive explosion in Lebanon’s capital, the Red Cross said Wednesday, as the army cordoned off areas worst affected by a blast that caused widespread damage and blanketed Beirut in dust and debris.

Beirut was hit by a powerful explosion at a warehouse in the city’s port Tuesday evening, which appeared to have been triggered by a fire. The warehouse held highly explosive material that Lebanese officials identified as ammonium nitrate.

Well by the look of things I'm sure that the person that caused the explosion is definitely not around anymore.

God help the people of Beirut. I call on my government, the American government, to help them, & to also help Americans survive Covid19. Sane, thinking, voting, American adults, please remember:
