From a colleague in Lebanon: "Disasters in beirut, some fire fighters are now inside the explosion place yet no news even about them.

"As the manucipaluty of Beirut asked people to close windows and doors because chemicals are spreading all over the city from the explosion.
"Hospitals of the Capital are full now as Ambulances have no capacity anymore.
Near cities are trying to host injuries yet no response until now"
