A Lebanese government minister has resigned following the devastating bombings in Beirut, and a series of protests against the regime has spread across Lebanon.

Information Minister Manal Abdel Samad has resigned in response to the shock of the catastrophe and said he was responding to the will of the people for change.

Meanwhile, another minister, a close adviser to Prime Minister Hassan Diab, is also expected to resign, local media reported.

The Lebanese army said Sunday that hopes of finding more survivors after the blast were fading and that 21 people were still missing.

Public anger over the mismanagement and corruption behind the bombings has been mounting in the wake of a night of violent anti-government protests in the Lebanese capital.

A devastating explosion in Beirut on Tuesday killed at least 158 ​​people and injured more than 6,000, and devastated parts of the city.

The blast was caused by 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate – a chemical used as a fertilizer and explosive – in a fire that broke out after six years of unsafe storage in a port warehouse, Lebanese President Michael Aung said.

Five of Lebanon’s 128 members of parliament have announced they will resign on Saturday.

But the country’s highest-ranking Catholic priest has called for the resignation of the “whole government” because “the way of governing cannot be changed.”

“The resignation of an MP or a minister is not enough,” said Bechara Boutros-Al-Rai, Cristian Maronite patriarch.

“The whole government must resign because it cannot help restore the country.”

Lawyer Maya Hubli said: “People should sleep on the streets and protest until they fall to the government.”

In a televised speech on Saturday evening, Mr. Diab said the only solution was to hold early elections.

He called on all political parties to set aside their disagreements and said he was ready to stay in office for two months to give politicians time to work on structural reforms.

French President Emmanuel Macron and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres held an international conference on Sunday to gather supporters to provide emergency aid and equipment to Lebanon.

“Despite the controversy, everyone must come to the aid of Lebanon and its people,” McCarron said via the link to the summer recession in the French Riviera.

“Our task today is to act quickly and efficiently.”

Following the blast, the United Kingdom pledged another $ 20 million in aid and promised to “stand up for the Lebanese people.”

The rescue package is in addition to the $ 5 million already provided by the British government.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump expressed his willingness to support, “Everyone wants to help!” Stated.

I was educated at Ananda College, Colombo for twelve years as a child and then studied drama, photography and journalism and later chose journalism as my career. He entered the media as an amateur writer and photographer and was a news photographer for a national newspaper.

Thereafter I became the Sri Lankan News Photographer for the International Reuters News Service. Under this, I received specialised training in international media services in Hong Kong and London. During that time, I was responsible for publicizing news photographs of the state of Sri Lanka and the Maldives around the world through the Reuters news service, especially near the events of the Sri Lankan civil war, and photographed areas of government forces as well as Tamil rebels. I escaped about seven fatal accidents there, and one time I was injured in a suicide bombing.
