Rescue teams have resumed searching for possible missing people under the rubble of a building destroyed by the Beirut explosion, after a specialized Chilean team detected indications of at least a dead body and monitored a heartbeat, according to Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud.
Despite the passage of a month after the explosion in the Beirut port, and the logical impossibility of finding survivors, the news spread quickly in Lebanon and on social media, reviving hopes. Official estimates indicate that seven people are still missing since the tragedy.
While inspecting the search work on Mar Mikhael Street in Beirut, Abboud told reporters that a rescue squad had recently arrived from Chile, and one of its trained dogs inferred an odor.
After the team inspected the building whose upper floors collapsed, through a specialized thermal scanning device, it became clear, according to Abboud, that “there appears to be a corpse or two (…), and there may be alive,” adding that the device detected a “heartbeat”.
"We hope that someone will come out alive," he said.
The building has turned into piles of rubble, making the searches "sensitive and accurate," according to Abboud.
Lebanon has neither disaster management equipment nor technical capabilities. Several countries rushed to send relief and technical assistance teams after the explosion, which killed at least 190 people and wounded more than 6,500.
"We are now working to raise the filling to reach the two people with a depth of approximately two meters," said First Lieutenant Michel Murr from the Beirut Fire Brigade, explaining, "We try as much as possible to find out if there are any neighborhoods."
A Lebanese rescue worker participating in the rubble removal operations told the local "LBC" channel, that the scanning device took "19 breaths per minute," indicating that there are other possibilities than life, but he confirmed that "the dog is trained to discover the smell of humans only." .
The Lebanese reacted with great emotion to the possible presence of neighborhoods. One of the tweeters wrote, "There is a heart beating, Beirut." And publish an electrocardiogram.
Another tweet read, "More than six million beats at the same moment call for one person to beat under the rubble."
