Over the weekend, the people of Beirut took to the streets in anger at the how the government failed to prevent the explosion that killed 158 people and injured 6,000.
Many have also continued to share videos and images of the citizens cleaning up the debris after homes and businesses were shattered last Tuesday. The latest video to emerge is of a drone flying through the broken Lebanese capital to show the full scale of the damage.
The drone is seen navigating in and out of buildings that have almost completely crumbled. It was by professional drone pilot, Michel G. Khoury.
People from around the world have been sharing information and donating. George and Amal Clooney donated $100,000 (approximately Dhs367,000) to three separate charities – Lebanese Red Cross, Impact Lebanon and Baytna Baytak.
Bella Hadid has also pledged a donation to the Lebanese Red Cross as well as smaller organisations. She said on Instagram: ““My eyes and heart are crying for you Lebanon…,” she began. “I am sorry you have to endure this kind of disaster my brothers and sisters… I will be sending donations to the Lebanese Red Cross, as well as ALL of the smaller organisations in Beirut.”
Foreign aid has been arriving from several countries, including the UAE that sent 30 tonnes of medicines and medical supplies last Wednesday.
