Chilean rescue workers and Lebanese civil defence volunteers have resumed their precarious search for a possible survivor of the Beirut port blast after a sign of life was detected under the rubble.
The search, supported by Chilean volunteers who are part of a Mexican rescue non-profit named"Los Topos", was under way on Friday as residents stood by silently. Journalists were asked to remain silent and switch off their phones to enable the use of scanning equipment.
On August 4, a massive blast ripped through Beirut's port, killing at least 190 people and injuring another 6 000. Seven people are still unaccounted for, according to the Health Ministry. Lebanese broadcaster MTV said the rescue workers had detected a sign of life again on Friday, but that it was weaker than the previous day.
