When a warehouse in the Lebanese capital of Beirut exploded six months ago, killing more than 190 and wounding thousands, the residents of the city were already doing it tough.
The deadly 4 August blast - the result of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate unexpectedly detonating - came in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and a crippling economic crisis, the worst the country has seen in more than 30 years.
The culmination of the blast and other crises has meant many families are still facing poverty half a year later, schools are still closed, water is not running, and health services are still not accessible, World Vision Australia has warned.
