Description

The families of Beirut Port blast victims protested against the suspension of the investigation into the explosion, as seen in Beirut's Adliya district on Monday.

Participants stacked the flaming tyres to form a blockade across the road, whilst holding pictures of the blast victims.

The Beirut port explosion of August 4, 2020, resulted in the deaths of around 200 people, injuring more than 6,000 and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless.

The deadly blasts that left Lebanon in disarray are thought to have been caused by the ignition of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive chemical material that was reportedly stored without precautionary measures at the port.
