The Lebanese government resigned. How much damage did the explosion cause?
The violent explosion in Beirut Port, the capital of Lebanon, is the focus of attention all over the world. It has been fermented for many days, from explosion to now. It is proved that 158 people died, more than 6,000 people were injured and dozens of people were missing. The loss caused by this explosion can be said to be very huge. According to the investigation of the local government, the cause of the explosion was that the gate of an explosive warehouse was in disrepair for a long time, and the welder accidentally splashed sparks on the explosives during welding, which led to the explosion.

More unfortunately, next to this warehouse full of explosives, there is another warehouse full of 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate, so the explosion is so powerful. As we can see from the photos, the explosion left a crater 43 meters deep in Beirut port area, which almost destroyed the whole city and left 300,000 people homeless. The local government also sent relevant rescuers, but what makes us sad is that one of the first firefighters was sent because of the second explosion.

After this incident, four government ministers and seven parliamentarians have resigned collectively, and Lebanese Prime Minister Deb announced his resignation in a televised speech. He claimed that the explosion was caused by official corruption, but his government would not pay for the mistakes of the previous government. At the same time, the explosion accident also caused strong dissatisfaction from the government. Thousands of people protested in the streets, accusing the government of corruption and demanding severe punishment for those involved in the explosion.

And there are many people who want Lebanon to become a French colony again. After the explosion in Lebanon, countries also sent rescue teams to help them for humanitarian reasons, hoping that they could tide over the difficulties and rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
