02:16Several CCTV cameras captured the moment of the Beirut explosions hitting the Saint George Hospital on Tuesday, August 4.
Some medical workers and visitors can be running in terror as the blast wave hit, while others appeared caught unaware as windows were blown apart, furniture was flung across rooms and floors shook.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 4, two powerful explosions rocked Beirut's port area, resulting in the deaths of around 200 people, injuring more than 6,000 and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless.
The blasts are thought to have been caused by the still unexplained ignition of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive chemical material which was reportedly stored without precautionary measures at the port.
Lebanon's government resigned last week in the face of protests in the wake of the devastation, although the administration remains in office in a caretaker capacity.
