rubble

CAMARILLO, Calif. — Stanley Jensen worked with firefighters to break open a melted safe amid the rubble of his family’s home.

Some houses, seemingly scattered at random, were reduced to rubble with only a lifeless moonscape left behind.

He reached the spot, moved some of the rubble, then held something up that could not be identified from distance.

A young man climbed on to the mound of rubble.

In the northern town of Ain Yaaqou, Lebanon’s Civil Defence agency said its first responders had recovered the bodies of 16 people, including four Syrian refugees, from the rubble of a residential building that was destroyed by an air strike on Monday night.
