UN Beirut donors' video conference 1200 GMT Sunday: France

A donors' video conference organized by France and the United Nations to stump up aid for the devastated Lebanese capital Beirut will be held Sunday at 1200 GMT, the French president's office announced Saturday. 

U.S. President Donald Trump had announced Friday that he would take part, saying, "everyone wants to help!"

The blast Tuesday at Beirut's port killed more than 150 people and devastated swathes of the city. 

Officials say a huge shipment of dangerous ammonium nitrate, a base chemical for fertilizers and explosives, had been stored unproperly for years in a warehouse at the port and somehow caught fire, leading to the massive, deadly blast.
