Christians in Lebanon are providing emergency aid after the huge explosion in Beirut’s port area which claimed more than 100 lives and injured several thousand.

‘The blast has shaken not just Beirut, but the whole country,’ said World Vision Lebanon’s communications manager Josephine Haddad.

‘We are really worried about the families and children who live in the affected areas,’ she added. ‘This disaster could not come at a worse time; Lebanon is in the middle of an economic crisis and has also seen the rate of COVID-19 infections drastically increase over the past few weeks.’
