Huge crowds have gathered near Lebanon's parliament building, blaming the government for the massive ammonium nitrate explosion. Police responded with tear gas after demonstrators threw stones and tried to break the barriers.
Livestream video from the streets shows riot police, armed with shields, pushing forward to disperse crowds from outside the parliament building as tear gas floods the air. Protesters, mostly masked to protect them from Covid-19, are throwing rocks and projectiles directly at the security forces – some of them hurling the projectiles directly back – and refusing to leave.
