Thousands of people are confirmed dead and thousands more missing, with the mayor saying the toll could reach 20,000.
Usama Al Husadi, a 52-year-old driver, had been searching for his wife and five children since the disaster.
Husadi, who had been working the night of the storm, dialled his wife's phone number once again.
"We lost at least 50 members from my father’s family, between missing and dead," he said.
Confirmed death tolls given by officials so far have varied, but all are in the thousands, with thousands more on lists of the missing.
