Wednesday will mark one year since the August 4 Beirut port explosion.  

The devastation from the blast  that killed at least 220 people, left 6,500 injured and 300,000 displaced from their homes, can still be felt throughout Lebanon. 

Relatives of the victims of the blast are still seeking justice for those killed when  2,750 metric tons of stockpiled ammonium nitrate exploded in the port.  

Families still hope to hold Lebanon’s political elite accountable for corruption and neglect that many say caused the disaster.
