Devastating footage of Beirut's port area, filmed one day after the blast on Wednesday (August 5) by Rayan Hajj, shows collapsed buildings and streets littered with debris.

This footage was filmed and produced 5 August 2020. A massive explosion Tuesday at the port in the Lebanese capital of Beirut left at least 135 people dead and thousands of other people injured. Emergency teams streamed in from across Lebanon to help, and the injured had to be taken to hospitals outside the capital. Hamad added that hospitals were barely coping and offers of aid were pouring in from Arab states and friends of Lebanon. Hours later, ambulances still carried away the wounded as army helicopters helped battle fires raging at the port. Miles away, building facades were shredded, balconies were knocked down and windows shattered. Streets were covered with glass and bricks and lined with wrecked cars. Motorcyclists picked their way through traffic, carrying the injured. Filmed by Rayan Hajj
