Origin of the nitrate

https://t.co/WK0qQ5NxKe

For Mia and her likes in Lebanon and elsewhere, stop with the fake propaganda and lies

The origin of the nitrate is known, it's been here since 2013/2014 and it has nothing to do with Hezbullah or Israel

You and MTV(Lebanon) can kindly STFU until we know at least the death toll https://t.co/X51hS4JUGS

- Syrian president just called Aoun.

- Yemenese (Sanaa government) just issued a statement of condolences.

All Lebanese and all political forces and national sectors should show solidarity, unity....

.... and joint action to overcome the effects of this cruel ordeal.

Lebanese MOH: Number of martyrs now is 63+, with 3,600 injuries ranging between light and serious.

Many people died from car crashes, bodies are unidentifiable.

- President Erdogan spoke with Lebanon's President Michel Aoun saying that Turkey is ready to provide humanitarian aid after the blast.

Local wheat production only covers about 10% of Lebanese consumption.

The remainder is imported - principally from Russia. Almost all imported grain (80%+) enters trough that single terminal at the heart of the explosion.
