International aid arrives as Beirut searches for answers following massive explosion

Authorities say the Beirut warehouse that blew up was packed with nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate.

The Lebanese Health Minister said at least 137 were killed in the explosion, with 5,000 people injured and at least 100 still missing. One American has been, and several others injured, a U.S State Department spokesperson told ABC News. Lebanese army soldiers stand guard in front of destroyed ships at the scene where an explosion hit on Tuesday the seaport of Beirut, Lebanon, Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020. Lebanese army bulldozers plowed through wreckage to reopen roads around Beirut's demolished port on Thursday as the government pledged to investigate the devastating explosion and placed port officials under house arrest.

Vreselijk !? Wat moet die Franse tafelwijn daar?

BaddCompani Huh look at at that. Not all President hide in bunkers. Very weird

BaddCompani A real man, loved & respected. Wish we had a president like this good man.

BaddCompani Question, would Donald Trump be there and surround himself with protesters?

وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَأَنْسَاهُمْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!

Colonialism ?

Hahahahaha if he is their only hope, Lebanon is in deep shit. This incompetent country doesn’t even have enough bullets for its soldiers or spare parts for its only 2 warplanes that are functioning. EmmanuelMacron

*Trump cleared the street of protesters to use the Bible as a prop. America is no longer the leader of the free world.

That's a lot of pressure on the man.

Help, but do not forget the nitrate was probably there for years for terrorists to use.

'You are our only hope',if that is so,truly :they are bad

Is he doing a runner like Juan Carlos 🙄

Why is this a French problem? He make a trip to another country, for? If they need supplies, workers I get, but him making a trip when his own country has many issues? That’s the problem fix your own country first!

Beirut was once one of the richest and thriving cities in the Middle East. In the 70’s all the banking was done in Beirut. It was the Dubai of the time. Then the Christian’s were forced out by the Muslims and life changed. Political instability, corruption, terrorism.

France is a living breathing monster it's not an Ally by all definable means

He can't give his own people hope let along the Lebanese's.

Historically, if you are relying on France as your liberator and savior, you are royally screwed.

Fake napoleon 😂

RAISE THE FRENCH FLAG!!!

Mr. Charles sevgilerini Beyrut'a iletmiş. Keşke o sevgiden biraz da sömürge kurdukları ülkelere de gönderse. 😌

And not a word of condolences from Mr Trump! One measly tweet for 8 military members who died in July accident! Hasn't anyone else noticed this?

Thank you WHO

Ppl wonder how it could cause that much damage. It's because their massive grain elevator exploded, too.

This must be fake news. Didn’t Trump say WHO bad?

If Samaritan Purse showed up would you make a point?

Good! So many people need help! PLEASE HELP OUR FELLOW LEBANESE BROTHERS & SISTERS IN BEIRUT BY DONATING TO RedCrossLebanon 🙏🏼🇱🇧❤️

Interesting ...

The answers are more death and devastation than imaginable. A semi nation in ruins. Another humanitarian disaster in a pandemic plagued world. Was this to stop the Harari verdict? Or incompetence at Trump levels. Conspiracy theories abound.

America has isolated itself from the WHO, an organization that does good in the world - because the administration needed a scapegoat. Trump’s conclusion the explosion was an attack clearly shows questions of competence should not have been aimed at the World Health Organization

realDonaldTrump See, the WHO is useful :
