It was supposed to have been cleared. They had found eight bodies - including three children and three women - and taken the many injured to hospitals; some were in a critical condition.

Then several men on a balcony in a building opposite started shouting: “A hand, a hand. We can see a hand.”

They were pointing at a balcony on the second floor, which was completely destroyed and had crumbled on to the collapsed floor below.

A young man climbed on to the mound of rubble. He reached the spot, moved some of the rubble, then held something up that could not be identified from distance.
