Protesters gather in Beirut's Martyrs' Square as frustration over blast grows

For the second day in a row, Lebanese protesters fill Beirut's Martyrs' Square voicing their frustration at the government after the deadly blast.

Footage filmed on August 9 shows hundreds gathered at the square demanding that political leaders are punished for their handling of the situation.

On Saturday (August 8), protesters stormed government ministries during a fresh demonstration over the blast.

Many are furious at the failure to prevent the explosion at a warehouse storing more than 2,000 tons of ammonium nitrate.
