A huge fire that erupted at a warehouse storing oil and tires in Beirut's port has sent waves of panic through the devastated city, which is still reeling from last month's massive explosion in the same area.
The head of the Lebanese Red Cross, George Kettaneh, told local media that authorities did not fear of another explosion due to the fire.
"Children in Beirut have experienced a terrible shock and they need time to recover; today's fire and panic will only make things worse," said Jennifer Moorehead, Save the Children's Country Director in Lebanon.
