Hundreds of protesters gathered in Lebanon on Friday to mark the third anniversary of a devastating explosion that ripped through a port in Beirut, demanding accountability from officials over a disaster that remains shrouded in mystery.

The incident at the Port of Beirut in the country’s capital was one of the world’s largest non-nuclear explosions.
