FDI World Dental Federation is calling on its members to help and support the countless colleagues who lost their dental practices in the huge explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, last month.
On 4 August, a huge explosion rocked the city of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. The explosion was caused by over two tonnes of ammonium nitrate and other materials that had been unsafely stored in a seaport storage hangar for several years.

The oral health profession was not spared from this devastation.
