Protests continued in Beirut on Sunday over Tuesday's massive explosion that devastated large parts of the city, killing nearly 160 people and injuring over 5,000.

Lebanese protesters hurled rocks outside parliament, while thousands of demonstrators were converging on Parliament Square and nearby Martyrs' Square, a Reuters correspondent said.

Public fury over the blast took a new turn Saturday night as protesters stormed government institutions and clashed for hours with security forces, who responded with heavy volleys of tear gas and rubber bullets.

The disaster has taken popular anger to a new level in a country already reeling from an unprecedented economic and financial crisis and near bankruptcy.

On Sunday, Lebanon‘s information minister resigned as the country continues to grapple with the aftermath.
