2,7 thousand tons of the same chemical compound caused the August 4th #Beirut explosion, which destroyed critical infrastructure worth billions of dollars and made 300 thousand people homeless.

Should this ticking bomb suddenly go off, we would witness indescribable destruction two times larger than that of the #Beirut explosion. Millions of people would become homeless in an instant.
The Yemen Solidarity Council holds the Saudi-American Coalition responsible and legally liable for any event that may be caused by the senseless storage of the chemical compound in Aden, and we urge relevant all stakeholders to initiate an investigation into this matter.
