BEIRUT (Reuters) - Turkey is ready to help rebuild the port of Beirut, which was destroyed by a massive blast on Tuesday, Turkish Vice-President Fuat Oktay said during a visit to Lebanon on Saturday.

Turkey's port of Mersin, on the Mediterranean, is ready to assist the port of Beirut, he said, without elaborating.
