Wir gedenken heute der vielen Opfer der #BeirutExplosion von 2020. Eine verheerende Katastrophe, die hunderte Menschenleben gekostet hat, und nicht aufgeklärt wurde. Wir fordern die libanesischen Behörden auf, Ermittlungen nicht länger zu verhindern und zu verzögern.
#August4

Today marks 3 years since the tragic #BeirutExplosion, its scars visible still today.

In the aftermath of the blasts, we helped deploy more than 300 search and rescue, chemical and medical experts, and sent tonnes of aid supplies.

Standing in solidarity with the people of Lebanon, then and now. 🇱🇧🤝🇪🇺

Firefighters have arrived at the port of Beirut. Many of their colleagues died in the explosion on August 4 2020 as the Lebanese government did not inform them of the presence of explosives. https://twitter.com/Akhbaralsaha/status/1422922235824807936 #BeirutExplosion

A #Beyrouth, avec des armes françaises, on réprime le peuple dans le quartier des ministères.
Les blessés s’accumulent.
Le Liban n’en finit plus de souffrir de ses dirigeants.

Terrible.

I have a fairly serious foot injury that's bleeding quite badly, but hospitals full w/ much more serious injuries than mine & I don't want to block them. Is there a doctor who could advise me on what to go until I can get stitches? Wrapped & elevated for now.

Fireworks caught fire and that went into a nearby stock of benzene or a similar flammable chemical nearby is what I hear and it makes ATM the most sense to me. #beirutexplosion
