Lebanon Relief Reflects Damage Inflicted by US/Isreal

The following Relief was provided by UNHCR to the 40 most devastated villages in the Nabatiye and Tyre districts between August 14 and August 31, 2006 [1]:

Blankets:......... 31,158
Mattresses:........ 6,110
Tents:............. 2,798
Lamps:............. 6,122
Cooking Stoves:.... 2,600
Diapers:.......... 13,455
Kitchen Sets:...... 3,257
Jerry Cans:....... 11,924
Bars of Soap:...... 6,620
Plastic Sheets:.... 8,497

One can't help but think that Israel should pay for this rather than international tax payers who fund the United Nations operations.

... and the reports keep coming in:

World vision has replaced more than 6,800 water storage tanks destroyed in 40 villages in Majayoun and Bent Jbail districts affecting 45,000 people. [2]

Mercy Corps provided food kits to 3,500 families in Baalbek District, as well as textbooks and clothing to 598 orphaned children. [2]
