    Lebanon depended heavily on that seaport. Almost all the goods brought into the country are through the port of Beirut. There’s going to be mass shortages and even starvation throughout the country. Lebanon is screwed

    It's now over 100 dead and 4,000 injured, and rising. And the official report is that a welding accident set off fireworks which were stored nearby (fireworks stored near ammonium nitrate!) which in turn detonated the ammonium nitrate. The port of Lebanon is in ruins, it will take months to clear out, let alone rebuild, all due to an amazing lack of common sense.

    Under the hashtag, #HelpThemSeedForThemToFeed, Labaki has built a modern platform for citizens interested in getting the support they need to adopt a sustainable lifestyle –one that will not collapse at the tampering hands of the government.

    Are We Moving Forward?
    Kanj Hamade acknowledges that there is a growing gardening trend across the country, with three main intentions. The first is when individuals turn to agriculture as a hobby: COVID-19 confinement and self-isolation in Lebanon came around the same time as planting season, giving many middle and upper-class individuals time to invest in their gardens. From dirt to dirt: Lebanon returns to agricultural roots

    Thats what they are going to have to do.

    that 2700 tons of fertilizer would have been helpful

    I'd guess that if the typical dock/port workers were on site at the time, it was a gripe with Hezbollah. If more than half the typical shift at the port was out sick, Hezbollah had a gripe with Beirut.
