SILVER SPRING, MD (August 6, 2020) \u2013 Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) response teams in Lebanon are providing essential emergency supplies to recovery workers and survivors of the massive explosion in Beirut\u2019s port.  The huge blast that struck the Lebanese capital city on August 4, killed at least 135 people, wounded more than 5,000 people, and left more than 300,000 people homeless.

\u201cResponders say they have never seen anything like this before. The images look like a war zone.  The first dispatched ambulance teams were killed by the explosion. We are delivering water and essential equipment to firefighters and civil defense workers,\u201d says Gunther Wallauer, ADRA regional director for the Middle East and North Africa.  \u201cWe are providing bedding supplies, so they have a place to rest; they need cots, tents, generators for lights since electricity is out in most of the city. We know there\u2019s devastation in several neighborhoods close to the epicenter.  Our teams on the ground are quickly assessing the situation to provide immediate aid to children and families.\u201d

ADRA-Teams werden mindestens f\u00fcnf Stadtteile und Schulen in der Umgebung des Explosionsgebietes besuchen, um mit der Bereitstellung von humanit\u00e4rer Hilfe, einschlie\u00dflich Wasser und Nahrungsmitteln, f\u00fcr die Opfer zu beginnen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Beh\u00f6rden gehen davon aus, dass die t\u00f6dliche Explosion durch tonnenweise hochexplosives Material verursacht wurde, das in einem Lagerhaus am Haupthafen gelagert wurde. Die Katastrophe ersch\u00fcttert das Land, das bereits mit einer Wirtschaftskrise und einer Coronavirus-Pandemie zu k\u00e4mpfen hat.
