The family and neighbors used ropes to clear chunks of concrete, working alongside ill-equipped rescue teams. By nightfall, the family's death toll stood at 22. Eight bodies were dug out of Azzam's building and 14 from the one next door. The dead included 89-year-old family patriarch Amin, his son Fawaz, 62, his grandson Sameh, 28, and his great-grandson, 6-month-old Qusai. Just a day earlier, Qusai's parents had celebrated a small milestone, his first tooth. Azzam's two younger brothers were killed. Three nieces, 5-year-old Rula, 10-year-old Yara and 12-year-old Hala, were found in a tight embrace, their bodies the last to be pulled out, said Azzam's surviving older brother, Awni.
