The Government of Lebanon has confirmed the launch of an auction to reconstruct the Port of Beirut following the largescale explosion in August 2020. It said that reconstruction will “start after the completion of a master plan prepared in cooperation with the World Bank” with estimated costs of up to US$100 million, in addition to a further US$25 million to address environmental damage caused. The blast killed more than 200 people and injured a further 4000.
