On Tuesday (Aug 4), Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was struck by two massive explosions, which killed at least 135 people and wounded 5000, according to the country's health minister.

The explosion displaced more than 300,000 people from their homes, and those reported missing have risen to the hundreds, prompting fears that the death toll will continue to grow. The cause of the explosion remains unclear, according to reports by the New York Times.
