Live: View of Beirut port fifth day after massive blast in Lebanon

The Lebanese capital of Beirut wakes the day after the most powerful explosion to hit the city in years shook the ground, shattering windows and causing apartment balconies to collapse. A MASSIVE explosion has killed at least ten people and left hundreds injured after the blast devastated part of Lebanon’s capital Beirut. Pictures show buildings destroyed, people walking wounded, and a sea of wreckage after the blast that could be heard some 125 miles away in Cyprus. Lebanon’s state news agency NNA and two security sources said the blast had occurred in the port area where there are warehouses housing explosives, reports Reuters. Buildings around the port have been levelled, windows and doors have been blown out and huge plumes of smoke are blowing across Beirut. The Government Palace - the home of Lebanon’s PM Hassan Diab - was damaged in the blast, and his wife and daughter were injured in the explosion. Video shows a column of smoke rising from the port
