People in Beirut have attended a vigil for the more than 200 victims of the huge explosion that devastated the Lebanese capital a week ago.
A crowd stood in silence near the ruins of the city’s port as a Muslim call to prayer was broadcast and church bells tolled at 18:09 (15:09 GMT).
That was the exact time when 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored unsafely in a port warehouse detonated.
There has been outrage that so much hazardous material was kept there.
The Lebanese government’s resignation on Monday failed to pacify protesters, who clashed with police in central Beirut for a third consecutive night.
Lebanon was already struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis before the disaster, with families pushed into poverty and hunger.
Since October, protesters have been demanding the complete overhaul of the political system, which they blame for government corruption and mismanagement
