BEIRUT, 6 AUGUST 2020 – Some 80,000 children have been displaced by the Beirut explosions, according to UNICEF estimates, with families affected in desperate need of support.

The explosions on Tuesday evening left 140 people dead, 5,000 injured and hundreds missing. UNICEF is concerned that many children have suffered trauma and remain in shock.

“Over the past 48 hours, UNICEF continued to coordinate closely with authorities and partners on the ground to respond to the urgent needs of families affected, focusing on health, water and the wellbeing of children,” said Violet Speek-Warnery, UNICEF Deputy Representative in Lebanon.

The port of Beirut – where the explosion took place – is the main lifeline of the country. It is now totally destroyed.

Agreed. How in Hades do those numbers even work? Methinks it's akin to the dem ploy of "its for da chillruns".
Excuse me if I'm mistaken.

And if that's yer main lifeline from the outside world, I'd have thought they could have found a better place to stash their combustibles.

Or mebbe I'm just a complete bassturd. My give-a-chitometer has been pegged for a good while now.

During 9-11, did Jordan send help and money to us, or did they cheer and dance?

Lots were singing and dancing. At a mall in Winnipeg in the food court, the news was playing and two men started cheering and pumping their arms. That was very short lived. 4 of us soldiers from nearby Kapyong barracks were also there. They got a swift lesson in how to take a proper beating.

This Lebanon thing was a tac nuke from Israel. Hezbollah was warned over and over. Let Lebanon deal with their own crap.

Halloween is just around the corner. Send out the kids with the little orange boxes to get funds.

It was no tactical nuke. There would otherwise have been a very bright flash at the time of the main explosion. This was ammonium nitrate, stored with no safety precautions, as well as a lot of munitions stored nearby. Makes a lot of sense to locate the ammo dump near explosive fertilizer. This is just about identical to the Texas City disaster of 1947. Watching the video, the explosion was preceded by a fire with a lot of red-orange smoke. That was ammonium nitrate breaking down into oxides of nitrogen - similar to what happened on the ship in Texas City. The ship’s anchor was found just over a mile away from the blast.
There was a similar explosion, but no where near as big as the one in Beirut, in West, TX, a few years ago. Again, started by an ongoing fire at the storage facility, which was previously written up by OSHA and EPA for lack of safety precautions.
That whole thing in the Port of Beirut was an accident waiting to happen. And it did. BOOM!

But then Hezbollah’s view of safety is probably “Safety? Inshallah.”

BTW, how many ‘social workers’ with UNICEF are actually pedophile child rapists who sex traffic?

Almost all of them?

UNICEF probably traffics in children.

Tac nuke 100% video evidence and no, there won’t be a night flash with a low yield, there will be a plasma ball though.

I just checked with Sleepy Joe, it’s 800 million children, not 80,000.
