Images of the aftermath following the collapse of parts of Beirut's grain silos. The collapse comes just days before the second anniversary of a catastrophic explosion at the Lebanese capital's port that ravaged the stores and parts of the city. IMAGES
Images of the heavily damaged grain silos in Beirut’s blast-hit port, where a fire has been burning since the beginning of the month. Lebanon's Prime Minister earlier said that the section is at risk of collapse. The warning comes just days before Beirut marks two years since the deadly blast ripped through the capital. IMAGES
Eight more grain silos collapse at Beirut's port after succumbing to damage from the devastating 2020 explosion -- the third major collapse in a month. A cloud of dust rose over the port after the collapse, which brought down the last of the northern block of silos that was more heavily damaged in the blast, and where a fire had been burning since July.

New parts of grain silos damaged by the 2020 Beirut port explosion collapse, the third such incident at the dockside harbour this month. The towers that came crumbling down were among the last remaining chunks of the structure's northern bloc which sustained the most damage during the explosion. Experts had been warning for days that the silos could collapse imminently. IMAGES
The UN human rights chief Volker Türk decries the lack of accountability for the 2020 Beirut port blast, urging an international probe into the massive explosion that destroyed swathes of the city, in a speech to the United Nations Human Rights Council. "It may therefore be time to consider an international fact-finding mission to look into human rights violations related to this tragedy," says Volker Türk. SOUNDBITE
