BATA, Equatorial Guinea (Reuters) - Jesus Nguema Nguema spent 12 desperate hours waiting for news of his family after a series of explosions on March 7 in Equatorial Guinea's city of Bata destroyed his neighbourhood while his children were at home.

One week on from the blasts that killed at least 107 and wounded hundreds, the father-of-seven, who was not at his home at the time of the blasts, recalled his relief.
