This is the moment a huge fire engulfed a refugee camp in Lebanon.
Footage on social media showed the massive blaze sending plumes of thick smoke into the air as people screamed and ran to safety.
The cause of the blaze remains unclear.
The fire has led to a noticeable decline in air quality in the surrounding area.
Emergency services are working to contain the flames, and officials are maintaining a significant security presence until the fire is fully extinguished and investigations are complete.
Transport and business operations in the vicinity are likely to be impacted in the coming hours, with potential road closures and evacuation orders being issued with little notice to ensure public safety.
Residents have been advised to follow local advisories for updates on the situation.
