02:25Aerial footage captured heavily damaged streets and homes close to the Port of Beirut on Monday, following two deadly blasts that rocked the area on August 4.
The Gemmayzeh neighbourhood, near the explosion crater by the port, was portrayed both from inside and outside, showing abandoned homes two weeks after the disaster.
On the afternoon of 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.
