The amount of misinformation that people are spreading about the explosion in lebanon??? Here’s a thread about the stuff that is true:
There is no firework factory in beirut, what exploded was 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate that was confiscated in 2013 and left at the port of beirut in a warehouse since then, what exactly triggered all of that is still sort off unknown
Stop saying that the port isn’t damaged. It is, its completely damaged and the aftermath of this will be a catastrophic. All the food, basic supplies needed for us to survived used to come through this port. There are 2 other ports in Lebanon (tripoli & saida) but they’re-
- really small compared to the dimension of what was the port of beirut. They won’t be enough to meet the country’s basic needs.
Yes Petitions are useless, we’ve been protesting since October 2019 and nothing changed but donations DO WORK!!
As everyone said before make sure you donate to the lebanese red cross, through their app.
Make sure that you’re donating to local charities or sites that will let you donate in usd//£//€, if they’re making you donate in lebanese pounds then don’t donate!!! The inflation left our local currency worthless, it won’t help!!
Please stop comparing this catastrophe to 9/11. I get it that it was awful but the situation here is just tragic, half of the capital was completely destroyed, the rest is just in rubbles, we were in huge economic crisis and now we’re just gonna go down even more
Also what’s really bothering me is people making conspiracy theories about how the explosion happened??? This isn’t buzzfeed unsolved, 4000 are injured, more than 100 people died. JUST STOP
This is fucking insensitive
STOP using the explosion videos for jokes and dark humour tweets. Stop using beirut as an excuse to get clout with tweets like “2020 can end now” or “2021 can come already”
THE CITY I GREW UP IN IS JUST DESTROYED
Also idc who the fuck you are but if you’re gonna post fancams in this thread i will block the shit out of you
If you wanna know how fucked up our government is: the french president is caring about us more than our own politicians, our president only proceeded to talk to the country 14 hours after the explosion, by reading a written speach in 5 minutes

Today the lebanese people went to protest the government with the slogan “let’s hang them all”. And guess what? They’re hitting protesters and throwing tear gas.
Where were these policemen to help the volunteers clean up the streets & help people stuck under the rubbles?
