Refugee father united with family rescued from Beirut

Murnier Zabed, 34, hasn’t slept in a week, fearing for the safety of his daughter, Gadier, five, and son Ali, who is just seven. His estranged children were among thousands caught up in the worsening war in Beirut.

This morning, the children will fly into Ireland, landing at Dublin Airport around 7am. A reunion party is planned in Kilkenny tonight where the children’s father lives and is doing a security course.
