Lebanon marks two years Thursday since a chemical explosion in Beirut port killed over 200 people, destroyed a large part of the city and deepened an economic crisis. Relatives of some victims are planning to march in protest against legal and administrative delays in the official handling of the case.
On 4 August 2020, the most powerful non-nuclear explosion ever recorded destroyed much of Beirut port, sinking berthed vessels and flattening swathes of the capital.
