The Beirut port explosion on August 4, 2020, resulted in over 218 deaths, including three-year-old Alexandra Naggear. The investigation has faced significant delays and political interference. A new government is making efforts to restore integrity to the justice process. Civil activists, including Tracy Naggear, stress the need for complete justice and refuse to accept anything less. Despite the long road ahead, there is a renewed sense of optimism as key decisions are anticipated from the lead prosecutor and a positive atmosphere is developing among advocates.
Tracy Naggear, Alexandra's mother and a key activist advocating for the blast's victims, stated, "The most important thing for us is not for the decision, but for full justice to happen, and we won't accept a half-truth or half-justice."
As the fifth anniversary of the tragedy approaches, there is some optimism that the judicial investigation is finally moving in the right direction after facing obstacles, mostly from well-connected politicians refusing to answer questions.
Lawyer Tania Daou-Alam expressed, "You can feel a positive atmosphere [this time]" regarding the judicial investigation of the blast as momentum appears to be building.
