The Lebanese ambassador to Jordan has announced her resignation following the seismic blast that ravaged Beirut, and said that "total negligence" by the country's authorities signalled the need for a leadership change.
Tracy Chamoun's resignation is the second by a Lebanese official since the explosion that killed more than 130 people, wounded at least 5,000 and destroyed entire districts of the capital.
Lebanese MP Marwan Hamade resigned on Wednesday, saying that Lebanon has an "ineffective government".
