Months ago a powerful explosion destroyed the port in the Lebanese capital, with about 200 people dead and 300,000 homeless. The explosion was caused by some 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate seized by the Lebanese government and stored in the port for six years without the necessary security measures. The explosions triggered a 3.3 magnitude earthquake in Turkey, Syria, Israel and parts of Europe.
