Rescue
workers in Lebanon are searching for more than a hundred people who are missing
after a huge explosion devastated the port area of the capital Beirut on
Tuesday.
The blast
killed at least 100 people and injured more than 4,000 others.
The whole
city was shaken by the explosion and a mushroom cloud could be seen spreading
over the port area.
President
Michel Aoun said the blast was caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate
stored unsafely in a warehouse.
Ammonium
nitrate is used as a fertiliser in agriculture and as an explosive.
