Lebanon’s health minister reported that at least 135 people were killed, 5,000 wounded, and more than 300,000 people have been displaced from their homes. As authorities are investigating the cause of the catastrophe, it is now believed that 2,450 metric tons of the explosive ammonium nitrate may be to blame.
