MURDER AND WAR CRIMES



In this undated photo released by the Lebanese magazine Al-Jaras, Lebanese photographer Layal Nejib, 23, talks on her phone, in Beirut, Lebanon. Layal Nejib who worked for a al-Jaras magazine was killed Sunday when an Israeli strike hit near her taxi in southern Lebanon, the first journalist to die in Israel's offensive, security officials said.

that was one war crime

the other occurred on 07/24/06 at 00:30, Tyre: 2 Red Cross ambulances transporting the wounded were hit by an israeli air strike, injuring all 6 passengers on board

....and the 'self-defense' continues...

PLEASE READ:

Our program director at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUB-MC) emailed me today:


We are still in Beirut. Mad it is…… many displaced with no chance of returning home. The ones I have seen displaced are educated , low middle class whose homes are destroyed and cannot afford to rent and are currently in schools. The humanistic situation is very bad. Almost everyone in the hospital is coming to work and many are actively involved in volunteering. AUB and AUBMC have now a fund which to we are accepting donations which will go to the care of the displaced sick cared for by us at the center. The account is available on the AUB website.

My best regards to all,

Thurayya


AUB has also initiated an AUB Volunteer Relief Group with the aim of providing
support to those displaced and directly affected by the war. This will include visits to refugee groups in schools and public areas and attending to their
medical, health and hygiene needs. Also, it has established a free evening clinic at AUB. It intends to provide, and to seek, accept, and channel support to those needy.

AUB intitiative, you can wire transfer funds to AUB's
