Beirut, Lebanon (CNN) Rescuers have failed to find a survivor under a mountain of rubble in Beirut after a three-day search, extinguishing hopes of locating a missing person a month after a blast devastated the city. On Saturday evening, locals applauded the rescue workers, led by a Chilean search and rescue team, after they announced that the search was 95% complete and that they were ruling out signs of life. "Unfortunately, today, we can say there's no sign of life inside of the building," Francisco Lermanda, the head of Topos, a Chilean rescue team, told reporters at a news conference. The Chilean team, Topos, on Thursday said their search dog and sensors had detected signs of life in the rubble of a destroyed building in eastern Beirut. Rescue workers return to search a destroyed building with the aim of finding a potential survivor in the aftermath of the Beirut blast on September 4, 2020 in Beirut, Lebanon.
