Beirut explosion: 'Blast scene was apocalyptic'

An engineer whose home was destroyed in the Beirut explosion has described the scene as "apocalyptic".

Mark Acar, originally from Nottingham, said his home had been reduced to a "shell of walls" in the blast that killed at least 200 people.

Mr Acar has now set up a GoFundMe page to help provide basic supplies to other blast survivors.
