SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) On August 4, 2020, one of the most power-
ful explosions ever to impact an urban population 
ripped through the Lebanese capital of Beirut. The 
blast—linked to 2,750 metric tons of ammonium ni-
trate stored in a warehouse—killed at least 220 peo-
ple, wounded approximately 7,000, left an estimated 
300,000 people homeless, and caused approximately 
$15,000,000,000 in property damage. 
(2) The COVID–19 pandemic has taken a 
heavy toll on Lebanon, which has recorded over 
628,000 cases and 8,400 deaths since the pandemic 
began. Lebanon’s public health system, already 
weakened by the Beirut disaster and political up-
heaval, has struggled to cope in the face of the pan-
demic. 
(3) While progress has been made towards a re-
turn to political normalcy, Lebanon lacked a fully 
formed government for much of the COVID–19 pan-
demic and the political establishment remains highly 
polarized and divided. 
(4) Lebanon has been experiencing one of the 
worst economic crises in its history at the same time 
as the COVID–19 pandemic, Beirut Port explosion, 
and political crisis.
