Beirut explosion: What help is needed?
International donors have pledged almost $300bn in aid for Lebanon five days after the explosion which devastated a swathe of Beirut.
But there have been more clashes in the Lebanese capital. Protesters are angry about perceived government corruption and incompetence which they say led to the blast in the port. So what is needed now to help the people of Beirut?
