The current extent of the damage sustained by the terminal remains uncertain at this moment. However, this unfortunate incident has resulted in the loss of both lives and properties. The initial report on human casualties indicates that there are at least 12 fatalities, 190 individuals injured, and several people still missing. The injured have been promptly evacuated to Donka and Ignace Deen hospitals, while the deceased have been transported to the respective morgues.

Nevertheless, the ongoing process of registration and assessment is already mentioning more than six thousands people being affected. Further data collection ongoing by Government and RC will offer a comprehensive understanding of the extent of the damage and the number of individuals requiring assistance.
