Beirut port explosion victims seek answers
Six years after the Beirut Port explosion in August 2020, the families of the victims still wait for the indictment to be issued to find out how their children were killed and to hold those responsible accountable. Meanwhile, the culture of impunity continues in Lebanon. The explosion resulted from the storage of large quantities of ammonium nitrate without proper safety measures, despite the officials' awareness of its risks. It killed more than 220 people, injured over 6,500, and destroyed entire neighborhoods. The victims' families demand justice and transparency, and they reaffirm their ongoing efforts to pressure the judiciary to uphold their rights, despite political obstacles. They hope that the indictment will be issued soon so that those involved can be brought to justice.
