CAIRO, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit on Wednesday urged the unity of different political factions in Lebanon to save the country from its ongoing crisis.

"Ending the ongoing crisis is still possible," he said in a statement, as Lebanon marked the first anniversary of the catastrophic Beirut port explosion on Wednesday.

Highlighting the urgent need for Lebanon to restore its economy through forming a technocrat government, Aboul-Gheit said the real reason for the huge explosion of the Beirut port is still dormant because of the deep political differences in Lebanon.

The blast of the Beirut port on Aug. 4 last year, caused by the explosion of a huge quantity of ammonium nitrate that had been stored in one of the port's warehouses since 2013, killed more than 200 and wounded about 6,500 others. Enditem
