Earlier i caught up our with our correspondent besa larry the in beirut and i asked him how they were overwhelmed hospitals are dealing with the thousands of people injured in the blast. Since yesterday some of these casualties they were moved out so to us because our site beirut some of them reach 50 kilometers away from beirut to the east to become a body to some hospitals and because that is east of lebanon some other thought other injuries of injured people they move to Morrow Mountain area countryside around 30 to 40 kilometer away from beirut so special to that in beirut as i said before theres 2 main hospitals that are in complete damage one of them its totally out of service its lost due to its members 2 nurses were lost lost their lives yesterday in the explosion its in that hes got. To thank the minister also mentioned you clearly the hospital featured its capacity right now theres ed preach from 2 Different Countries out of the countries from 14 countries in western countries a kind of how to bridge for.

Obviously lebanon experiencing strong or an area loss i mean any country in the world would have a difficult time dealing with a disaster of these proportions what will it take for lebanon to get back on its feet. Well i mean right now it clearly needs immediate humanitarian support your correspondent spoke about the average. He also spoke about. The problem of the port that really brings in all kinds of goods 85 percent of the ban on consumes imported this poison of commissions or there needs to be something in the way of an average medical supplies immediately or as i heard that there was a big care medical storage warehouse in the in the port is also being destroyed there has been the biggest biggest grain storage of the route was right next to the explosion site Still Standing but after destroy it so clearly food have we brought in and there and medical equipment material to repair the houses 300000 people are supposedly now. Without homes or their homes are uninhabitable they have to be fixed i mean its you know impossible to get all the glass to to repel these windows or it can live in his house again now yesterdays explosion said mr dimon or were most likely caused by over 2 and a half 1000 tons of Ammonium Nitrate that appears to have been stored in a warehouse at the scene since 2030 what you make of the fact that this was allowed to happen. Well its a typical combination of. Complications in aptitude. Mismanagement you have all across institutions of the new state that has to do with simple mismanagement it has to do with competing interests that is these institutions are at the service of the political elites and are more mostly their service it is to extract money from them to put people to give people jobs that will bring them both and so on and so forth and very little in way of competence and very little in ways of consequences or anything goes wrong in the end of the day everybody has backed up i read are going to see an investigation im sure im not so sure its going to bring results what i what i do like to pick up on that you know do you think this could be a turning point in ways that we havent seen before. So these things are very difficult to predict we have seen last year you know of course. Big protest movement and uprising want that all 100000 people the street protesting mismanagement all kinds of things are kind of that if you choose and so its the economic break now in the fact of the state will have and this happened over the last what happened over attacks on whats up called for in. That was supposed to be 6. 00 per month while in the years before you had a disastrous scandals breakdown of of the Garbage Disposal breakdown of Electricity Supply all of this we think people should have been industry destroying everything bring down the government will be for any other small thing that tips them over the edge so its hard to predict what it will do what i can tell you is that im seeing people who i know who are activists who have networks who can mobilize people and id expect that in the next 2 or 3 days we will see protests that go into the hundreds and thousands the question is can they go into the hundreds of thousands and they create a momentum again that process that cuts across the political divides and basically you have the majority of the money say ok and i was enough this political event has to go and not just the current government the interim government has been there a couple of months they clearly that that stuff has been there for 7 years so they are only best or part of the responsibility its the all the way things are run its all political elites that have also now appointed this government that would have to be to change their behavior very dramatic move have to do it and well see you know i think exactly time will tell for now thank you so much i call him a long time project director at the International Crisis group in beirut so thank you for joining us and your emotional having ones talking about some of the other stories making news around the world.
