Lebanon, a country already on the brink of economic collapse and famine, due to the combined challenges of a banking crisis and Covid-19 lockdown has now suffered a devastating shock with a huge explosion that has killed more than 100 people and injured over 4,000.

Around half a million children in Beirut are struggling for survival or going hungry as families are increasingly unable to afford basic food items and other essentials such as electricity, cooking fuel, hygiene items, medicine and water.

The Beirut explosion only makes things worse.
