Two days after the explosion, people in Beirut are still looking for loved ones. Rescue groups say they are overwhelmed. So far more than 135 people are reported to have been killed and and several thousand injured. Another 3,000 people have been left homeless. Pierre Zalloua witnessed the explosion and, knowing his brother-in-law Elie Naufal would have been in the worst-hit area of the city, went searching for him. After six long hours of looking, he turned to social media, and finally tracked him down. He desribes the agonising search and the devastation in the city.
