Nehha Pendse, Amruta Khanvilkar Offer Prayers For The Victims Of The Beirut Explosion

A massive explosion rocked the city of Beirut on Tuesday, August 5 leading to a loss of life and property. The blast has flattened much of the Lebanese capital, devastating many buildings, flipping cars, and destroying the city’s port. Over 4000 people have reportedly been injured and casualties are said to be over 100. The incident is said to have reminded many of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bomb blasts that took place during the World War. Marathi celebrities were quick to react to this saddening news and offered prayers for the victims. Let’s look at some of their reactions beginning with Amruta Khanvilkar.

Likewise, Nehha Pendse expressed her reaction on the incident by putting up an Instagram story. The Dusari Goshta actress prayed for the healing the victims of the Beirut explosion.

The blast that took place near Beirut’s port sent up a huge mushroom cloud over the city. Reports suggest that the explosion was caused by a fire at a warehouse full of firecrackers. So far, 78 have been confirmed dead but the death toll is likely to rise as the victims are still trapped under the rubble. Rescue teams are now working hard to pull the bodies out from the wreckage. Let’s hope that the survivors of the blast in Lebanon are rescued to safety.
