German Ambassador to Lebanon Andreas Kindl announced on twitter that Combi Lift has treated 52 containers of dangerous goods and hazardous materials which will be transported to Germany for recycling/disposal.
Recently, we gave more than 2 Mio € to @LebarmyOfficial to rebuild the naval base that was destroyed after the blast.

On 4 August 2020, ammonium nitrate stored at port of Beirut exploded resulting in 200+ deaths, more than 7000 injured, leaving 300,000 people homeless and loss of property worth more than 15 billion USD.

"I've never seen anything like it. We found formic acid, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid, acetone, methyl bromide, sulfuric acid, peroxyacetic acid, sodium hydroxide, various glycerines. Packed in containers that fell apart at the lightest touch. Some had already mixed." /3
