Explosion Of Fuel Tanker Kills 22 In Akkar
Our hearts are heavy as we report a new massacre in Lebanon.
A fuel tanker exploded in Al Talil in Akkar, Northern Lebanon at nearly 4 AM. Reports are claiming that 22 citizens are dead so far, with more than 67 being injured, and many others missing. The reasons behind the explosion are still largely unknown.
Hospitals in Akkar and surrounding areas are in urgent need of blood of all types. Please go donate if you can.
The fuel crisis, fabricated by the ruling class and distributors, has claimed so many lives. May they all rest in peace, and may we someday be free from this ruling class.
This also comes at a time when many hospitals have sounded the alarm for no longer being able to keep their lights on. This is catastrophic.
Below is some video footage, please be warned that some of it is graphic.
