Out of the darkness and chaos came the screams of bloodied patients, doctors, nurses.
One of Lebanon’s most prestigious and oldest medical centers, St. George stands overlooking the Mediterranean coast about 900 yards from Beirut’s port. On that day a year ago, hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate improperly stored at a port warehouse blew up in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history.
The Aug. 4, 2020, blast tore through the Lebanese capital at 6:07 p.m.
It destroyed entire neighborhoods, killing at least 214 people.
Including 22 at St. George Hospital.
Work is ongoing at the seaport in Beirut a year after the deadly explosion.
