A massive explosion rocked Beirut on Tuesday, flattening much of the city's port, damaging buildings across the capital and sending a giant mushroom cloud into the sky.
화요일 대규모 폭발이 베이루트를 뒤흔들며 베이루트 항구의 상당 부분을 부서뜨리고, 수도 전역의 건물들을 파손시키고 거대한 버섯구름을 하늘로 날려 보냈다.
More than 100 people were killed and thousands injured, with bodies buried in the rubble, officials said.
이 사고로 100명 이상이 사망하고 수천 명이 다쳤으며, 시신이 잔해 속에 묻혔다고 정부 관계자들은 전했다.
The sudden devastation overwhelmed a country already struggling with both the coronavirus pandemic and a severe economic and financial crisis.
갑작스러운 대폭발은 이미 코로나바이러스 대유행과 심각한 경제 및 금융 위기로 어려움을 겪고 있는 레바논을 휩쌌다.
For hours after the explosion, the most destructive in all of Lebanon's troubled history, ambulances rushed in from around the country to carry away the wounded. Hospitals quickly filled beyond capacity, pleading for blood supplies and generators to keep their lights on.
레바논 역사상 가장 파괴적인 이 폭발 사고 이후 몇 시간 동안 전국에서 구급차가 몰려와 부상자들을 이송했다. 병원들은 수용 능력을 빠르게 초과했고, 혈액 공급과 전등을 켜기 위한 발전기를 호소했다.
For blocks around the port, bloodied residents staggered through streets lined with overturned cars and littered with rubble from shattered buildings. Windows and doors were blown out kilometers away, including at the city's only international airport.
베이루트 항구 주변 거리에서는 피투성이가 된 주민들이 전복된 차들이 줄지어 서 있고 부서진 건물들의 잔해들이 흩어져 있는 거리를 비틀거리며 지나갔다. 베이루트의 유일한 국제공항을 포함해 수 킬로미터 떨어진 곳의 창문들도 파괴됐다.
Interior Minister Mohammed Fahmi told a local TV station that it appeared the blast was caused by the detonation of more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate that had been stored in a warehouse at the dock ever since it was confiscated from a cargo ship in 2014. (AP)
모하메드 파미 레바논 내무장관은 현지 언론에 이번 폭발은 2014년 화물선에서 압수해 부두 창고에 보관돼있던 질산암모늄 2,700톤이 폭발하면서 발생한 것 같다고 전했다.
