Aid for Beirut: Where and how to donate to help the city devastated by the Aug. 4 explosion
The latest information, as of Friday, Aug. 7, indicates that the Aug. 4 explosion at a warehouse at the Beirut port killed at least 150 people, injured thousands more and “caused destruction across half the city,” according to a report by NPR. And despite initial fears and rumors that the blast was some sort of terrorist attacks, all indications at this point are that it was an accident, “possibly the outcome of neglect on a massive scale,” NPR adds.
