What happened: Two large explosions in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Tuesday evening local time, shattering windows in surrounding neighborhoods for miles, destroying nearby buildings and wounding thousands of people. Lebanese PM Hassan Diab said the explosion was caused by an estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate left unsecured in a warehouse. What is ammonium nitrate? Ammonium nitrate, which Lebanese authorities have said caused the devastating #BeirutBlast, is an odourless crystalline substance commonly used as a fertiliser that has caused numerous industrial explosions over the decades. All those that need to store large quantities of flammable chemicals to look at their safety plans & adhere to legislation. Only store the amount permitted & do not stock pile! Devastation in Beirut: • 300,000 Lebanese have become homeless • $3 to 5 billion material lose • Less than a month of grain in stocks • Medical stockpiles destroyed, number of hospitals damaged • 90% of hotels can no longer be used • More than 100 dead, 4000 wounded Ways to help: The Lebanese Red Cross - urgent call for blood donations Several charities are on the ground providing medical care, shelter, supplies and other desperately needed services to help the city recover and rebuild.
