On 4th August two massive explosions shook the port of Beirut, Lebanon and the surrounding areas. The blast occurred in a port warehouse in Beirut and has consequently flattened much of the vital Middle-Eastern port.

As rescue efforts are underway in the Lebanese capital, government agencies have put all port officials under house arrest due to negligence of duty.

An investigation has been ordered into the incident, with the declaration of a two-week emergency in the Lebanese capital.
