Rescue teams were still searching the rubble of Beirut's port for bodies, nearly three days after a massive explosion sent a wave of destruction through Lebanon's capital, killing nearly 150 people and wounding thousands.
In this photo taken from footage provided by the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry press service, a Russian Emergency Situations employee works with his sniffer dog on the site of the explosion in the port of Beirut, Lebanon, on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020. Russia's emergency officials say the country sent five planeloads of aid to Beirut after an explosion in the Lebanese capital's port killed at least 100 people and injured thousands on Tuesday.
The government has launched an investigation as it has come under mounting criticism, with many Lebanese blaming the catastrophe on negligence and corruption. Dozens of people are still missing, and at the entrance to the port a family waited for news of a relative.
