“Why should innocent people have to suffer like this because of worthless rulers? Is this how cheap our lives are to them?” The death toll is expected to rise. Officials blamed the blast on a huge stockpile of highly explosive material stored for years in unsafe conditions at the port. “This country now looks like its rulers, the garbage and rubble in the streets, it looks like them,” he said. “If any of them has a speck of consciousness left, they would leave.”

Abu Saad, whose furniture in his house near the sandwich shop was torn to pieces, hadn’t slept all night. “We’re all still in shock, none of us can understand the scale of the destruction,” he said.

They should be. Who the hell thought storing those explosives in the city (since 2014!) was acceptable? There is no excuse.

Get rid of Hezbollah! Join israel and let’s have peace and prosperity together.

How do we help them?

Please donate and share, the hospital has been destroyed and urgently needs funding

I would be too, it was complete negligence from them

It looks like the World Trade Center after 9/11.

Love and solidarity with them ❤️✊🏼❤️✊🏼
