At least 154 have been killed in Beirut blast. Over 5,000 people have been injured.

Al Jazeera, citing the Lebanese health ministry, said that the condition of another 120 victims was assessed by doctors as extremely serious.

According to Lebanese President Michel Aoun, "the cause has not been determined yet. There is a possibility of external interference through a rocket or bomb or other act."
