Rescue workers resumed search operations early Friday in a building that collapsed last month in Beirut's deadly blast in hopes of finding a survivor under the rubble after a pulsing signal was detected.
Search operations first began Thursday afternoon after a sniffer dog belonging to a Chilean search and rescue team detected something as the team was going through the neighborhood of Gemmayzeh and rushed toward the rubble.
Still, it was extremely unlikely that any survivors would be found a month after the August blast that tore through Beirut when nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate ignited at the port.
"Ninety-nine percent there isn't anything, but even if there is less than 1% hope, we should keep on looking," Youssef Malah, a civil defense worker, said Thursday. He said the work was extremely sensitive.
