85% of the Lebanese annual grain reserves. If they can recover any from the spoil heap it may help save starvation because without a silo complex, where are they going to store the grain for the rest of the years bread?

With the port not functioning, it seems that they will have problems shipping in the grain they need for the coming weeks.

It's a double whammy as the explosion has destroyed both the import infrastructure and the already imported stock.

This cannot be the only port in the country?

It's the main port, it carried 60% of the total imports, more than all the other ports combined.

It's their main port at the very least.

Sorry I didn't mean it like that. I was just relived that it wasn't a hotel full of people.

indeed. I wish it had been something other than food, I wish it hadn't happened in the first place.

I heard already that they still have enough grain for the rest of the year at least.

So no flour and grain shortage there.

Good news
