Pray for Our World (Pray for Lebanon) Another Economic Crisis

[cabalism13]

I just happened to see the news about the explosion on Lebanon. This is really bad for their country especially in this time around which pandemic is having a serious threat to humanity. Their Economics will surely in vain after this tragedy, I do wish that they'll get through all this, I recently posted on how bad it was on our Country but seeing this now, I really feel bad...

A large blast in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, has killed at least 70 people and injured more than 4,000 others, the health minister says.

Videos show smoke billowing from a fire, then a mushroom cloud following the blast at the city's port.

Officials are blaming highly explosive materials stored in a warehouse for six years.

President Michel Aoun tweeted it was "unacceptable" that 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate was stored unsafely.

An investigation is under way to find the exact trigger for the explosion. Lebanon's Supreme Defence Council said those responsible would face the "maximum punishment" possible.

Hospitals are said to be overwhelmed and many buildings have been destroyed.

President Aoun declared a three-day mourning period, and said the government would release 100 billion lira (£50.5m; $66m) of emergency funds.

Lebanon's prime minister also called for international help: "I make an urgent appeal to friendly and brotherly countries... to stand by Lebanon and to help us heal our deep wounds," Hassan Diab said.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: "The pictures and videos from Beirut tonight are shocking. All of my thoughts and prayers are with those caught up in this terrible incident.

"The UK is ready to provide support in any way we can, including to those British nationals affected."

US President Donald Trump sent his deepest sympathies after what he called "a terrible attack", and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo offered assistance, tweeting: "We are monitoring and stand ready to assist the people of Lebanon as they recover from this horrible tragedy."

This is so bad, that's a huge cost of damage, no one is expecting for this tragedy to happen.

This can really worsen the economic crisis in Lebanon, there are also a lot of people who died which is very unfortunate. They said that the people who died are atleast 100 and those people who are wounder are in 4000. Imagine, there are people who are living peacefully and then this came up. The government is responsible for that damage which is really can cost them a lot. Hopefully, they can recover faster and at full speed, keep safe everyone and let's pray for the people in Lebanon.

The explosion itself is horrible but the whole economical and political situation in Lebanon looks dire. The Lebanese pound lost about 70% of its value against the US dollar and the national debt is enormous. A national bankruptcy is looming. Besides this, there is also an energy crisis. Protestors just tried to storm the Energy Ministry in Beirut yesterday and I saw on German news that people from Beirut are now trying to set up power supply in the city by themselfs with generators.

My thoughts are with all those who were injured or lost a loved one in yesterday's explosion. I hope they get well soon and I really hope that Lebanon will not follow Syria into a civil war.

The events these 2020 are too much to take. The whole situation turned from a simple fire into a incident that shocked the World. Lets just hope that people around the World will contribute into their needs. Even though I wanted to help, me too has certain needs that need to be take care of and watching what happen in Lebanon, I just hoped that nothing else would happen more to them. Lets just hope and pray for their faster recovery.

This would surely affect the economic status of Lebanon since we can see that it affected most infrastructure and workforce near the place of the incident.

Not being anticipated to happen during  this crisis time, but if I read correctly
the Pres said that it's been.

 "President Michel Aoun tweeted it was "unacceptable" that 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate was stored unsafely."

Storing explosive unsafely always risking your people from this kind of accidents
Shamed to those who stored it without thinking.
It's a big loss to those who died and being hurt out from this explosions, We can only
pray from here as we are also affected by this crisis.

It's really tragic and this is what I first saw when I woke up and it just made it worse since this thing happened in the middle of a big crisis. By just watching the video, you can say that it's huge damage to both people and the country. And this isn't just what Lebanon is facing right now. Based on some posts I saw, they also have the 3rd highest inflation rate in the world.

We all wished for a good year yet 2020 continues to fail us with all the things that happened already. Praying for everyone there in Lebanon.

Yeah 2020s been a bad year. They'll have already faced an economic downturn from covid and now will have this to deal with on top of that.

It's a shame there's no well funded version of the EU for the rest of the world so that when crises like this happen other countries can help to reduce the burden...

Let's hope they manage to get those generators fully functioning and the death toll doesn't continue to increase here (just because hospitals don't have electricity).

I imagine a lot of them are shaken up and are going to have a lot of determination to try and salvage as much as they can.

I guess few thousands were died not just 70 but the bodies were yet to be discovered.I don't know how officials carelessly treated the explosive materials in a very busy city hope they will recover from this tragic incident.

And also another rumor spreads that it is a terrorist attack, any opinion about this?

[7788bitcoin]

I saw this is in the news about a blast and i thought it was a terrorist attack and i really never understood these extreme measures for decades and i ignored as i do not want to see the gore but in this case it was unsafe storage of chemicals which is not acceptable at any cost and around 80 people lost their life because of someone else's horrific decision and how many families will be affected is beyond comprehension.

[Nellayar]

What is happening in the world right now? Seems like the year 2020 devastated the entire world. We don`t yet done in COVID-19 pandemic and here it comes another one. Sadly to say that 2 of my countrymen died in Lebanon, we all need right now is praying for the safeness of everyone.

The crisis has begun, Lebanon produces also oil and I think it is not an accident only. There is always a hidden plan for that incident. When I saw the video, it just like seeing a movie happening in reality.

I hope someday the world will heal and we will surpass the catastrophe happening in the world.

[Leviathan.007]

I just saw it on television today and I was thinking it's just some kinda terrorist attack from isis or anther group. Even on cyprus you could feel something like earthquake. The events on 2020 are not done yet and getting worst and worst everyday. according to the news, sadly, more than 4000 people are hardly injured and more than 100 died and more than 300000 people lose their homes(numbers are still increasing). Still don't know what the reason caused this explosion (Or explosions, according to some news.) I hope people from all over the world help them by sending foods and the other emergency stuff.

[LogitechMouse]

Their Governor didn't help himself but to cry onto what happened in Beirut today.
Investigation has been made and they said their is around 2700 tonnes of ammonium Nitrate inside.

The mistake that I see here is that why is the chemical being put in a place where there are many people. See the surroundings of the place where the explosion happened. There are many houses living around it.
Many have injured and unfortunately dozens are killed by the explosion. This is a double problem for them because they are already suffering from the pandemic and now this happened. The hospitals can't admit any patients anymore which is a sad thing. Lets just hope for the best and I know that there will be somebody who will help them (creator).

Theres no way the explosion wont affected the country economic because the explosion happened in the country biggest port almost half if the city was affected which more than 85% hotels are damaged. I even expect the lost to be more than 70%.

My thoughts are with all those who were injured or lost a loved one in yesterday's explosion. I hope they get well soon and I really hope that Lebanon will not follow Syria into a civil war.

I hope they wont make the decision of following Syria to war because the yesterday explosion was caused by unsecured ammonium nitrate which is an explosion material and can also cause respiratory tract irritation if inhaled. The incident survival need to giving proper care cause they might have inhale the ammonium nitrate.

Generally, ideally, all hazardous industries, as well as port storage facilities and other facilities should be located far from settlements, but today all these facilities in almost every country are located within the city. Today, land plots are beginning to be valued very expensively, and therefore every square of land is saved, while using gray zones for building residential areas. Perhaps you need to think about safety when storing hazardous substances.

I think people should slow down with speculations about terrorism or Israel attack. It's a tragic event, many people have died and been injured, the damage is devastating. There is no need to invent more stuff to make the news more "spicy", at least not until investigation uncovers something else.

[posi]

This situation absolutely add salt to the wounds of lebanon and citizens because the issue of economic meltdown and other damage done by covid19 which literally lend to job losses and increase in price things was what every country in the world is encountering.
It good that the EU have pledged their support.
I just read now that the head of Lebanon's Customs have already warned the country's judiciary about dangerous materials stored at the Beirut's port.

Negative rumors like this should not be tolerated as it won't help the situation at all but will only cause negative effects to the people especially those who have been injured or even died in this accident. My deepest sympathy to those who have lost their loved ones and hopefully those who are responsible for this tragic accident should be given proper sanctions.

I don't want too as well but its business time for all the media so they were saying lot of controversy thing to make their news more spicy and attract more views. Until now the report says this is from the explosion where explosive materials were stored, hope the people can find a shelter now when everywhere is a Chaos.

[Heart18]

I was extremely shaken by this news about the Beirut, Lebanon explosion. It was a total chaos for the affected Lebanese people and can't imagine them being so terrified with the explosion amidst of this covid-19 Pandemic. And the thoughts that only the locals were affected, it broke my heart to know that I have 2 fellow Filipino working there as domestic helpers, and was being dead and their families here now are mourning.
Seems like a double war for Lebanon, this trials that they are facing might affect more in their economy. But, I still believe that they will make it through...they've been into several wars, terrorists attacks before and they surpassed it. For sure now, they will be able to make it as well as the covid cases in their country and the whole world as well. There's always a sunshine after the rain, as the saying goes. This all shall passed, it may take long but with strong faith and prayers, It will be over. Stay strong, Lebanon....You are in my Prayers 💕

Agree, with cases of covid19, I think terrorists groups will be so busy dealing with their own health precaution. People should really think of it as a tragic accident which falls on the owner of the said establishment containing tons of ammonium nitrate.

To be honest Im still in shock seeing my newsfeed on Facebook as the topic is everything about Lebanon incident. I do wish forum users maybe through known Charity groups here on forum like @cabalism13, @Royse777, @Irfan_pak10 and others could extend a help through anything thay could support the affected people on Lebanon. Still in shock mode, why why why this happened.
