In Jordan, at least 13 people died, and more than 250 were injured as a result of a toxic gas leak in the port of Aqaba on Monday (27).

A security camera recorded the moment a cable lifting a 25-ton tank broke, overturning a container. The explosion formed a large yellow cloud.

This gas has a high chlorine concentration, making it harmful to humans. According to Civil Defense, specialized teams dealt with the leak.
