05 Aug 2020 / Beirut, Lebanon
Yesterday’s explosion and the subsequent blast in Beirut destroyed almost everything in the port and the surrounding area up to a radius of 10 kms. In magnitude, it was equal to an earthquake of 4.5 on the Richter scale.
Multiple deaths and thousands of injuries have been reported, and an unknown number of people are still missing or under the rubble. Most of the city’s big hospitals were severely damaged and are no longer fit to receive any casualties. Field hospitals are being set up in the meantime.
The GAC Lebanon office building, at the entry of the port, has been severely damaged. Fortunately, however, none of the GAC team in Beirut have been injured and staff are still monitoring emails.

Fredrik Nyström, GAC’s Group Vice President for the Middle East, says: “We are deeply shocked by the devastating explosion in Beirut port, and extend our profound sympathy and solidarity with everyone affected. We are constantly monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as they become available.
"The GAC Lebanon office building at the entry of the port has been severely damaged and we will further assess the situation when it is safe to do so. All GAC staff in the area are unharmed, and they continue to monitor email communications.
“Our immediate priority is the welfare of our staff and our continuing support for customers and the wider community impacted by the incident.”
