The WHO said that it will send protective equipment to Beirut and provide other medical and humanitarian support in the aftermath of the blast that devastated the Lebanese capital
BEIRUT - Lebanon’s cabinet faced rising pressure on Monday to step down after a devastating blast that has stirred angry anti-government protests and resignations of several ministers, with the justice minister the latest to go and the finance minister set to quit.
The information and environment ministers quit on Sunday as well as several lawmakers, and the justice minister followed them out the door on Monday. Beirut’s governor said many foreign workers and truck drivers remained missing and were assumed to be among the casualties, complicating efforts to identify the victims.
“It won’t work, it’s just the same people. It’s a mafia,” said Antoinette Baaklini, an employee of an electricity company that was demolished in the blast. An emergency international donor conference on Sunday raised pledges worth nearly 253 million euros for immediate humanitarian relief.
