At least 78 people have reportedly died with 4000 injured after Beirut explosion in Lebanon
According to the head of the Lebanese Red Cross, George Kettana the number of fatalities may reach 100 soon as more victims are still trapped under rubble.
 Rescue teams are said to have worked throughout the night till this morning, in the hope of recovering survivors.
Health minister, Hamad Hasan says there are so many people who are yet to be located as worried family members get in touch.
“There are many people missing. People are asking the emergency department about their loved ones and it is difficult to search at night because there is no electricity,” the health minister Hamad Hasan.
Since the explosion took place,  relatives of the missing scrambled at the port for news of their loved ones.
“It’s a catastrophe inside. There are corpses on the ground. Ambulances are still lifting the dead,” a soldier at the port said.
A woman in her twenties stood screaming at security forces, asking about the fate of her brother, a port employee.
“His name is Jad, his eyes are green,” she pleaded, to no avail as officers refused her entry.
