Beirut explosion: the volunteer clearing up the wreckage of her home city
In the days after the Beirut explosion, the Guardian followed yoga teacher Jana Saleh as she volunteered to help clear up. She finds chaos, disorder and a lack of support from Lebanese authorities: ‘there is no government, no army … nothing’. In the immediate aftermath, she searches through wreckage, helps out older people and clears a hospital smashed beyond repair. More than 150 people died in the blast, around 5,000 were injured and at least 60 are still missing, according to the health ministry Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► https://ift.tt/16bR3Lu What we know about the Beirut explosion – video explainer ► https://ift.tt/33Dx3SQ 'Martyrs for corruption': the family mourning three firefighters missing in Beirut explosion ► https://ift.tt/30BJblo Support the Guardian ► https://ift.tt/2VEEwKb Today in Focus podcast ► https://ift.tt/2D74a4z Sign up for the Guardian documentaries newsletter ► https://ift.tt/2feoDdN The Guardian ► https://ift.tt/1AFLGzy The Guardian YouTube network: Guardian News ► https://ift.tt/1J9JUwL Owen Jones talks ► http://bit.ly/subsowenjones Guardian Football ► https://ift.tt/1yECE17 Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsport Guardian Culture ► https://ift.tt/16bR6H2
