Beirut explosion: Death toll rises to 200 as third minister resigns
More than 200 people are believed to have been killed by Tuesday's devastating explosion in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, its governor has said.
Marwan Abboud said dozens were still missing, many of them foreign workers.
On Sunday there was a second night of violence in the city, as police clashed with protesters angry with the government's response to the disaster.
The resignation of three members of the cabinet, including the justice minister on Monday, has not quelled the fury.
Fresh protests have been called for Monday afternoon when Prime Minister Hassan Diab is due to chair a cabinet meeting.
