Hospitals are packed, all state agencies have gone to the field, and this whole situation has deeply affected Beirut's governor, Marvan Abud, who in front of the journalist burst into tears.

Until the ruins of buildings and other business objects were seen around it, Abud has compared the disaster to nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

Although the explosion is suspected to have occurred at an explosive facility near the port of the city, the exact cause is still unknown.

Abud has confirmed that a large fire broke out and that fire crews have emerged at the scene, trying to locate it, when they disappeared for a moment, photographing Telegrafi.

We're looking for them, right now 10 of them are considered extinct. It looks like what happened in Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That reminds me of that story. All my life, I have not seen the destruction of these sizes. It's a national disaster”, Abud said he couldn't stop crying.
