Beirut blasts resulted in leaving 300,000 people homeless which will take a great amount of time to settle back in their own city. Many fundraisers have been started by Artists and other organizations to help Lebanon rebuild Beirut.

The total confirmed death toll from Beirut blast has reached 113, as reported by CNN. About 4,000 have been injured and currently being treated in the hospitals, confirmed by the Health Minister of Lebanon.

The blast caused by the fire that caught a cargo ship that Port of Beirut officials had confiscated several years ago, said Lebanese Health Minister. Although it is still unclear what caused the fire at that ship.

It was one of the worst-hit blasts in Lebanon, having a history of explosions from 1975 till 1990’s civil war, periodic terrorist attacks as well as conflicts with Israel.
