Watch: The explosion in Beirut’s port killed over 158 people, inured over 6,000, and displaced more than 300,000. New footage in 4K shows how it unfolded in slow motion, ravaging buildings as far as 10 km away and sparking mass anti-government protests. https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2020/08/07/Fire-blast-mushroom-smoke-cloud-wreckage-Timeline-of-Beirut-explosion-footage.html | Al Arabiya English

We honor the lives lost in the Beirut barracks bombings as we continue to work for peace in the region. | U.S. Department of State
