W460

Abbas Ahmed Mazloum, 38, on Wednesday died of wounds sustained in the Beirut port blast, 15 months after the catastrophic explosion.

The National News Agency said Mazloum, a father of five, was at his job at the port at the moment of the blast.

He was hit by a shrapnel in the back which resulted in his complete paralysis.

Al-Jadeed TV said he died on Wednesday morning “after lengthy suffering that lasted a year and three months.”

He was buried in his hometown Hawrtaala at 3:00 pm.

Mazloum’s death raises the fatality toll to at least 216. Around 6,000 people were injured in the monster 2020 explosion and parts of Beirut were destroyed.

Another innocent man dying because of Huzbullah storing Nitrate at the port and making it an army base for its illegal activities. Is there anyone sane enough to read these events and convict this devilish faction of crime against humanity?
