We unfortunately didn’t have the time to do a deep dive this story deserves, but we will dedicate special coverage to the tragedy in future episodes. The death toll currently stands at 140, with more than 5,000 injured. Hundreds are missing, many of them workers near the blast site. The number of victims is expected to rise as rescue workers continue to search through the rubble. As many as 300,000 people were made homeless, according to the governor of Beirut. We at The New Arab Voice encourage our followers to consider donating to an organisation of their choice working on the ground in Lebanon, such as the Lebanese Red Cross https://www.supportlrc.app/donate/donate.htmlMake sure to follow The New Arab’s coverage of the Beirut blast on our website www.newarab.co.uk and social media channels  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for more.(Produced by Gaia Caramazza and Danya Hajjaji.
