PICTURE SHOWS: Before and after the explosionThese satellite images show the extent of the devastation caused by the massive explosion at Beirut's port on Tuesday (4 August 2020).In one after photo the image shows a huge crater where a warehouse once stood.The images were captured the day after the explosion with WorldView-2 by European Space Imaging in order to assess the damage to the surrounding blast site.Almost 20 buildings have been completely destroyed, whilst hundreds of other surrounding buildings have been significantly damaged.A cruise ship has been overturned and four tankers have been damaged.According to AIS data, this cruise ship is the “Orient Queen” sailing under the flag of Bahamas, and originating from port King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia.It has been reported that the explosion at Beirut’s port resulted in the damage of 90% of the hotels in the Lebanese capital and that the blasts could be felt up to 200 km away in Cyprus.“When disaster strikes, VHR satellite imagery can provide critical information for emergency relief operations to evaluate the extent of damage and get an entire overview of the scene,” said Adrian Zevenbergen, Managing Director, European Space Imaging.“It supplies crisis management teams with logistical insights for planning and helps to monitor and detect any changes that may be critical to minimising or even eliminating further catastrophe.”The cause of the explosion is still unknown, however it has been reported that the blasts occurred in a section of the port that stores previously confiscated highly explosive substances.With the country already suffering a crippling economic crisis as a result of battling COVID-19, this explosion plummets the city into further catastrophe with the country’s leader, Hassan Diab, appealing for international assistance.Where: Beirut, LebanonWhen: 07 Aug 2020Credit: European Space Imaging/Cover Images**EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
