The government of Lebanon has given an “investigative committee” four days to determine responsibility for the devastating explosion in Beirut port on Tuesday.

The country’s Foreign Minister, CHARBEL WEHBE told newsmen that the committee must provide a detailed report on responsibility including how, who, what and where.

The provisional death toll from the massive blast stands at 137, with dozens missing and 5,000 wounded.

The Beirut governor estimated up to 300,000 people may have been made temporarily homeless by the disaster, which he said would cost the debt-ridden country in excess of 3 billion dollars.
