On the eve of the third anniversary of the August 4, 2020 explosion where a cargo of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, and US$15 billion in property damage, protesters gathered to complain against the lack of justice, truth and reparations of the
investigation.
