View this post on Instagram Emmanuelle Lteif Khnaisser was in labour when the explosion in Beirut hit. Her husband, Edmond, was recording what was supposed to be a joyous day for the couple. Instead, he captured scenes of fear and panic as the blast sent a window smashing into his wife’s hospital bed. “I saw death with my own eyes... I started feeling ‘is it over?’ I was looking around and at the ceiling, just waiting for it to fall on us,” Emmanuelle told Reuters. Seventeen people were killed directly from the blast at St George hospital. The couple were eventually relocated to a hospital outside of the city centre, where their son, called George, was born safely. “He is the light in the darkness, a birth in wreckage,” Edmond said. 📸: Reuters #Beirut #Family #Love #Baby #Lebanon #bbcnews A post shared by BBC News (@bbcnews) on Aug 13, 2020 at 3:15am PDT
