The people of this disaster stricken city are starting to assess and comprehend the extent of the damage of a blast that was far more destructive than any explosion lebanon has ever seen just before sunset on tuesday highly explosive material stored at a warehouse at beirut port caused the blast sending shock waves across the city now in ruins. Almost every building has been damaged many are dead thousands are injured and hundreds are missing rescue workers worked through the night and into the morning as people and bodies were feared trapped underneath the rubble telling them what. My husband is an employee at the Electricity Company he survived but his colleagues didnt they only now moving their bodies from under the rubble this is a country already reeling from a dire economic crisis where 50 percent of the population live below the poverty line the damage spread several kilometers more than 300000 people are now displaced its people are not in a position to cope with this disaster. But the. Material losses are sad but its nothing compared to those who lost their lives this is my taxi its my livelihood and im still paying for it. Everyone has a story of survival or tragedy many are blaming those in power for the catastrophe. This was lebanons hiroshima we trusted them with our money our souls our lives and they betrayed us why are they still in power they should all resign we only have god now have their day will come to him authorities are appealing for help from the International Community the state is close to bankruptcy. Its like a bigger earth quake hit lebanon in beirut this will cost billions of dollars to restore the economy will get even worse because businesses have been hit entirely in order for it to relaunch a nice new investments we will not despair some countries have started to send much needed medical supplies the Health Care System was already close to collapse hospitals have been laying off staff in recent months because of the financial crisis and i love mr mankell we are an afflicted hospital there is no hospital as you can see hospital is closed and now we wait for our directors in order to receive instructions because we want to start the recovery workers cannot get in also as you can see because its unsafe the ceiling is falling down it is a critical situation. Lebanons leaders are promising an investigation to determine who was responsible for storing Ammonium Nitrate without Safety Measures at the port for years and. We are determined to investigate and reveal what happened as soon as possible and bring those responsible to justice and punish them accordingly we will transparently announce the results of these investigations but those who hold power are being blamed for negligence incompetence and corruption people are in shock but anger is also growing out a Political Class many blame for mismanagement and being responsible for running the economy into the ground months of protests calling for a new leadership have been met by a militarized state and demands by the International Community to fight corruption especially at beiruts airport in order. To be eligible for Financial Aid have gone unheard what many call a manmade disaster is the latest crisis to hit a country already on its knees so much has been lost when there was already so little said of. Beirut the explosion was the most powerful ever suffered by beirut a city still scarred by civil war 3 decades ago this satellite image from planet lab was taken of beiruts ports in may and this is the same view today showing the devastation of the blast epicenter with a large chunk of the main dog gone its believed a fire at the port spread to a warehouse where confiscated Ammonium Nitrate had been stored for 60 is a blast has virtually flattened the port which was lebanons biggest in the main entry point for imports to feed a nation of more than 6000000 people and it sent a shockwave through the city buildings were damaged in blast smashed more than 3 kilometers away affecting an area where more than 750000 people live people reported feeling the blast and windows rattling on the mediterranean island of cyprus about 160 kilometers away well earlier i spoke to a doctor i mean cut c. From the American University hospital in beirut whos also president of the Lebanese Society of emergency medicine he told me about about how he the hospital treated hundreds of patients immediately after the blast but said theyll be even more pressure on the Health System in the days ahead. We expect not only a 2nd wave no more typically get ill people we expect in doing the us when we have to execute patients we expect d another way that our lives later but they typically are dead or more severe injuries due to crush injuries but the numbers of those patients of alive or salvageable will be less so technically speaking out to the rest injury and that again unfortunately i must say that we have acquired experience and knowing what to expect however we were surprised in this particular event by the sheer number i mean we had the worst blast youve had in beirut even when youre in the similar war in if you did that really association the Prime Minister we were hit we were being hit 515253 on that i wouldnt expect what on the 25 on the casualty story that sheer number we were having a hard time moving within our departments we need International Help provide us fuel to provide us needs sustained open ations in the longer run like to take the more i can just to send to all the mothers a lot and i dont have less children there now we had we had some of the harshest milnes we had i went went but its like coming to look for that where they belong once the ones that they have lost for the last what are still missing it says hartley see if one of the allies this is a manmade disaster that would have been avoided so almighty god to the men and everybody were part of this disaster and all the people were lost in this element. Well lebanon was already on the brink of collapse amid a severe economic crisis government announced it was defaulting on its debts in march and the situation has been exacerbated further by the coronavirus pandemic a collapsing currency has led to soaring inflation and a paralyzed Banking System in half of the countrys population lives below the poverty line and 35 percent are out of work Food Security is a worry since lebanon imports nearly all of its vital goods they would support house the countrys main grain silo which was completely destroyed all this in a country of 4 and a half 1000000 people which hosts an estimated one and a half 1000000 refugees from the war in neighboring syria or a spokesperson for the u. N. Said damage to beirut support presents a major humanitarian challenge both in lebanon and for other parts of the region we expect that the damage the port will significantly exacerbate the economic and Food Security situation in lebanon our which imports about 80 to 85 percent of its food. Our colleagues at the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs also expect that this will affect our ability to provide aid to syria because the port in beirut was one of the ways that we should be in aid and of course we also use the airports so well need to find alternate plans but 1st well need to do a Damage Assessment and see what is needed. To repair the port and to go about our operations where governments around the world are offering assistance to lebanon greek unkosher e planes arrived in beirut on wednesday carrying medical supplies Turkey France and germany also plan to send help french medical teams and firefighters are on their way to beirut for search and rescue support and the french president emmanuel lakhan will travel to lebanon on thursday to meet its leaders. Well joining us now from beirut is sami nada whos director of the institute for Strategic Affairs and schools just speaking about search and rescue operations there is going to be some time before we know about the human toll from this disaster but when you look at the scale of the ruin and how much of the city has been destroyed how is the country going to recover from this. This is the big question because this disaster these are all means comes off to me to a crisis 1st of all the financial and economic crisis that started in october of last year where by. You know has lost 90 percent of its value 50 percent of the bunnys population are under the line of overview while 40 percent are unemployed laws that make with the banking crisis whereby a citizen cannot have access to their own money to get on saving this is in a state think into him major economy nightmare for the bunnies population on top of a game called the crisis and then logged on to deepen too far at the end but of it a crisis and was yesterday up i lit the event i want to. Live on the well get over this this is pushing this small town commentary into the abas bearing in mind that the poor is the redid the this is the major route that links levanon to the rest of the would be bunnies economy is a trading economy its not in an industrial country so every single business from banks to Insurance Companies to any business even to this is the link to. What you say i mean its not i mean its not a question of the economy being in freefall it has collapsed and now the country is completely isolated cost off from the rest of the world its hard to describe the anger and the level of injustice made made worse by the fact that the authorities knew about the storage of Ammonium Nitrate at the ports and they did nothing about it what are the repercussions for the Political Class. I mean the anger of the population is as its acne never i mean this level of anger was by the population because if not at the of the government is to do that this is not emitted to the opposition and thus to the explosion this is the result of a corrupt system this political system is city this is so could imminent that is the responsibility of what happened that stored more than 135. 00 people or bad the number of injuries or wounded people more than 5000 the whole city is in a. Landscape so and this is the response ability of the political system and this is something that anybodys population cannot i mean im maybe what i would be saying is. Unquote it would have preferred if this was the result of an outside at that but to realize that this this or that caught up with it because system is responsible folks so much damage never all of the wars and on did not have such and. Saying from what youre saying its going to take many many years for that the country to recovery can only rebuild the sport its very difficult to say how long thats going to take but could it also become a catalyst for real change in latin. Unless they change this part of the can establishment this particular class this at this all for political system there is no way to get out of the crisis the International Community i mean dont want to have to depend on they put up several Financial Aid package Financial Aid programs to have government provided it undertakes this country on the city forms and for the last no saying go to reform has he in a cheap why because for this part of the good for these political forces. They are feeding their own party from. From the system so they can not inform because informing voted them is practically suicide and unless that is that we can change at the level of the political system of the political establishment there is no way this country would see i mean any at a health that we will go into. All right thank you very much sunny not to and they were it. It watching the news hour live from london much more still ahead well hear from the beirut bride who had to run for her life when the blast hit. On lawrence lee in the northwest of england at the hearts of the tourism season some hotel use a warning that the loyalty hooks of being put at risk because some visitors are failing to follow basic guidelines to control the spread of the virus. And a happier time for the Miami Marlins a bit later after their corona Virus Outbreak all that law coming up with only. The number of people who died from the corona virus around the world has passed 700000 over the past 2 weeks one person has died from the disease every 15 seconds thats according to new research by the royces news agency the u. S. Brazil india and mexico have been leading the rise in fatalities brazil has just reported another 1437. 00 deaths in the past 24 hours on tuesday latin america past year oppose the region with the highest death toll with more than 206000 fatalities well John Heilemann joins us live from mexico city and of course when you look at the situation in latin america you have some countries that are already struggling with resources some poor countries and they are going to have a tough time trying to contain the pandemic. Exactly and everyones trying to balance the 2 things in latin america at the moment which is opening up theres a lot of countries like mexico are gradually opening up and have been doing for more than a month now but they havent really been able to stamp out coronavirus colombia as well a country that was seen to be doing pretty well with its measures at the start of this but it has been gradually opening up and as such its still yet to get this to get this virus under control at the same time so ive just been reading actually United Nations survey on this saying that the may worry of 12 of 16 countries that they serve the that they serve it is fully income so people are worried about the Economic Impact of this weve been now in mexico looking at food banks here where people the queues are expanding in those food banks in a lot of people that worked in the informal economy in this country its more than 50 percent in other countries also they have a lot of people in latin america working in the informal economies that are worried about the virus but also the very worried about the fact that they wont be able to feed their families so theres a real school to die limit for latin america obviously brazil a mess because youve mentioned particularly hard hit brazil with the 2nd highest death toll in the world mexico with the 3rd highest death toll also bolivia a country in which the Health Services are really struggling to cope at the moment with the cases were hearing about especially special police units picked up more than 3000. 00 bodies from homes and on the streets in that country also peru this is a country as well in which the Health System is struggling to cope to an extent in which theyre now accepting Venezuelan Health professionals the fled from their own country theyre being allowed to work now in the very in the peruvian Health System theyve got one of the highest case rates and one of the highest def rates in the world well as you say in. One of the hardest hit countries and so concerns about the rising number and infections that all silent about the hundreds of when and girls and gone missing. Yeah theres been since the start of the lot down womens rights officials improve now have come out with a total of more than 900. 00 women and girls that are missing actually 2 thirds of those of minors are girls under age in peru so that is what womens officials have been saying in the country is that the this has been a problem thats really been present in the country but its really been made worse by the pandemic and by the quarantine in the country women cooped up with abusive partners at times not able to get away and this one of the results in 2019 in peru there were 30000 calls for Domestic Abuse so again this is something thats not new in the country this is something thats getting worse and what those officials have also said is that the case of the missing women in the missing girls has been made even worse by the fact that there isnt a National Registry for the missing in peru so they dont know how many of them have been found afterwards and how many of them. Are still missing in that country now going wider in latin america this isnt just a problem for peru this is a problem for other countries mets code as well Domestic Abuse thermos sides of the country recently officials said that 10 women were killed every day in mexico and theres been indications that with the pandemic with those same quarantine restrictions that its got worse in this country as well thats something that the president and that is manual Lopez Obrador hasnt admitted his hes refused to admit that the pandemic in the korean team has made Domestic Abuse and conditions for women worse here another country ecuador in which a hopeless been opened up in which women can send him oh geez codes for being in immediate danger so that their partners cant see that theyre sending Text Messages to this helpline so theres different problems in this region with Domestic Abuse and this pandemic doesnt seem to be slowing down so much here so those problems are not going to go away any time soon. Thank you very much from mexico city john holman afghanistans Health Minister says 10000000 people might been infected with the coronavirus thats almost a 3rd of the population figures are based on nationwide Antibody Survey which tested about 9 and a half 1000 people the highest infection rate was found to be in the capital kabul when more than half the citys residents of thoughts of contracted the virus officially afghanistan is only reported 36000. 00 cases almost 1300 deaths well earlier i spoke to Pierre Kraemer who is the afghanistan head at International Federation of the red cross and red crescent societies he wasnt surprised by the survey estimates as many afghans he says cant afford to stay at home. The situation can still be worsening thats pretty clear because its a city break and today across the country you know the lockdown measures are even though. Dispensing protocol as you know i am very lead and applied so so certainly the big b. Kids behind and the figure that theres been a moms today show thats it has been brutal and theres been much louder. As has indicated before and. Its not behind it say tweeted certainly be potentially war something we see in the next weeks and we need to be ready to be with the virus as a new norm across the country is it difficult to calibrate a response if you dont know the true extent or pervasiveness of the virus. And its a but it was a popular surprise back in march the ministry have to be careful already announced you know that potentially 60000000 people could be affected. And nobody took it very seriously but at the same time during a major when we could see you know. Visually i would say thats the virus much the impact of the virus and the magnitude of the virus was certainly much bigger than. What the figures were saying so so thats something that was some who want to see what is clearly thats you know its clearly the future of context you know what we can see the discrepancy between the official figures and what the study is saying today which is huge and basically so we knew from the beginning that. Health system which is very weak in afghanistan after a decade of war we also needed to associate very closely some so show economic measure you know the reason why must have their afghan didnt apply you know the protection measure that many of them are depending on the daily wage and basically couldnt afford to stay at home and had to and had to go outside to walk and so by and of course that still happening what is the main challenge in responding to the virus. The main challenge at the beginning has been to combine you know duty of care how we ensure thats the afghan red cross and which is the organisation which. National federation is reporting until the protection of their staff and volunteers all across the country and at the same time the operation that effectively is to be able to be at the forefront of the response but combining duty of care that effectiveness with the most difficult duty of care was especially to get the Protection Equipment in the country it was very difficult to find in afghanistan we needed to get it from outside and that they the best they could months basically to have the protection. To reteach and show that the operation can be can be moving out.
