When Zeynab Mohammad heard a loud commotion from inside her ground-floor shop at the East Lee building in Eastleigh on Friday, 23 October, she assumed it was nothing more than a neighbourhood quarrel.

With concrete and rubble pressing in on all sides, Zeynab had nothing but darkness, dust, and the weight of uncertainty.
