People in Beirut have expressed anger at the government over what they say was negligence that led to Tuesday's huge explosion.

Many have accused the authorities of corruption, neglect and mismanagement.

The blast killed at least 137 people and injured about 5,000 others, while dozens are still missing. A two-week state of emergency has begun.
