Jan Egeland,a senior UN official has said that one third of the many Lebanese casualties appear to be children...they have been killed or maimed in their homes or cars or on the streets of their towns and villages.Many have shrapnel wounds to the body.

Around a million Lebanese have now been displace by the bombing and the attack on the Lebanon is not only confined to the south but is taking place right across the country.

The USA is hurrying to send more precision bombs to Israel including 5 tonne laser guided bombs. They will have to arrive soon or the mighty Israeli air force will have run out of targets.

Tens of thousands across the world have marched and demonstrated their opposition to the invasion of the Lebanon and the attack on Gaza. They called for a peaceful alternative to the bombing and the shelling of civilians.

In Tel Aviv some 1000 Jewish and Israeli Arabs marched together for peace and to oppose the war.
