Another disaster: Massive fire at port in Beirut
Weeks after
a major explosion killed almost 200 hundred people in Lebanon, the country is again
dealing with a disaster.
A massive
fire broke out at the port in Beirut on Thursday. However, the cause of the blaze
is not yet known. It is believed that the incident began at a warehouse where
oil and tyres were being stored.
While
firefighters try to contain the blaze, residents are being told to stay away from
the port.
This latest occurrence
is a major blow for the country, as they are still picking up the pieces from a
massive explosion on August 4 that killed 190 people. More than 6,000 people
were injured, and 300,000 people were displaced from their homes.
