Beirut blast six months on: Thousands still homeless with poverty on the rise

Published 29. Jan 2021 Six months since the Beirut explosion, thousands of families face a new wave of homelessness because of rising poverty, the Norwegian Refugee Council warned today. While the majority of around 200,000 residences damaged or destroyed on 4 August 2020 have been repaired, a staggering number of families find themselves facing unprecedented poverty that is leading to a rise in evictions and homelessness. An estimated 70,000 workers have lost their jobs because of the explosion. Even before the explosion, Lebanon was facing political paralysis, a crippling economic crisis and an aggressive Covid-19 outbreak that put the country under immense pressure. The worst-affected victims of the explosion already lived in the poorest areas of Beirut. NRC surveys in affected neighbourhoods showed that around a third of respondents reported having lost their family income because of the blast.
