The death toll and missing from the explosion that struck Tuesday Beirut is already 135 and more than 5,000 injured, twenty-four hours after the deflagration that took place in the port of the Mediterranean city, an Ministry of Health source informed Efe today.
The source, who called for anonymity, stated that there are “135 among the dead and missing” and that the wounded exceed 5,000.
A few hours earlier, Lebanese Health Minister Mohamed Hasan told local media that the deaths were 113 and about 4,000 injured.
“It has been agreed to set up field hospitals to treat the wounded quickly and the Ministry of Health will establish the appropriate locations” to lift these, with the help of the Army, Hasan said at the end of an extraordinary cabinet meeting, according to local television network LBC.
He stated that medical aid being sent by several Arab and European countries had to be channelled through the Ministry of Health and under the supervision of the Army when they arrived in Lebanon.
Jordan announced today that it will be sending a fully equipped military field hospital to Beirut on Thursday to carry out surgeries, with 160 health professionals from all walks and nearly 50 beds.
At his extraordinary meeting, the Executive declared a state of emergency for two weeks in Beirut, who was classified as a “catastrophic zone.”
In addition, it announced three days of official mourning from August 5 to honor the victims of a tragedy that has rocked this small country and devastated large areas of the Lebanese capital.
