‘You see a community at its worst’: Volunteers on deployment to Beirut

Less than 48 hours after a catastrophic explosion rocked Beirut, British volunteers were among those assisting disaster relief teams across the city.
A team, including paramedics, structural engineers and firefighters, was deployed to Lebanon by a small UK-based charity, Saraid (Search And Rescue Assistance In Disasters), which set up and ran a damage assessment co-ordination centre in the capital.
