It's now been more than 24 hours since this explosion in Beirut's port

and volunteers like the ones behind me are still trying to clean up the streets.

Clean the glass and the debris out of  this neighbourhood.

You can actually see the port there behind me.

but even here, even 500 meters away, you can see 20 stories up

this building has been completely destroyed.

Now a lot of the volunteers I'm talking to came from all over Lebanon today

but they're also very angry at their government

Protesters have been in the streets here since October

and those protests were in some ways silenced by the COVID-19 pandemic

but what people are telling me today is that

as soon as the rubble is cleaned up from the streets of Beirut

And I actually saw a group of protesters from the northern city of Tripoli

come along this road just about one hour ago.

and the financial crisis that Lebanon  has been suffering for months already

it seems difficult to know how they'll possibly manage to rebuild.

You know for example you can see all these shattered windows around me

and the currency here has lost almost  80 per cent of its value.

So everybody I'm speaking to today is extremely concerned about the future of the country.
