Context

On 4 August 2020, COVID19 took a back seat to the tragedy that shook the Earth beneath Lebanon’s capital, Beirut. Improperly stored ammonium nitrate at the country’s port in Beirut detonated taking with it most of the city. The blast took the lives of hundreds, injured thousands, left hundreds of thousands homeless, and severely damaged the healthcare sector. The explosion was compared to Hiroshima of Japan, among the largest explosions recorded in human history, equated at around one-twentieth the size of the atomic bomb.
