Lebanon

A picture says more than a 1000 words it has been said. However when it comes to the destruction of Lebanon, words are needed to give a voice to the one million or so refugees and the over 1000 Lebanese people, most of which, were civilians, who died from the Israeli ruthless and indiscriminate bombings of residential areas, and attacks on roads and bridges.
To write about this is so much more urgent, in light of the fact that the whole world was watching and said nothing, as the Israeli aggression against the Lebanese people continued for over a month. Therefore I have added some words and explanations to my pictures.
Starting from the top:
The southern suburbs of Beirut, Dhahiya Jenoubieh, where thousands of people lived and worked have been destroyed and turned into mounds of rubble and debris. The Israeli rationale behinds, so cynical in its notion and so ruthless in its execution --- this was an area where Hizballah was hiding. (July 26th 2006, Beirut). The other picture show more of the destruction of Dhahiya ( July 26th 2006, Beirut)
(The picture in between the two)
Hussein Khazam and his wife, Hossnyeh Fares, walked 40 kilometers from their home in the south to Beirut in order to escape the Israeli bombardemnt. Now they are staying in the Sanayeh park, sleeping on mattresses on the ground without a roof over their heads. The walked for two days to get to Beirut.

Much of the Lebanese infrastucture was damaged during the war. According to estimates some 80 bridges were destroyed. This one is very close to the Lebanese capital ( July 31st 2006, Lebanon).

Many cities have been levelled to the ground and have turned into ghost towns. The inhabitants were only able to bring some of their belongins and had to leave their animals behind for them to fend for themselves ( Ghost town in the south of Lebanon, July 31st 2006).

The massacre in Qana took place on July 30th, when Israeli airplanes attacked the village and killed 28 people (13 are still missing). Many of the people were children --- they had all taken refuge in a shelter that collapsed and burried the people alive. Some of the houses (Qana, July 31st 2006).
The two pictures below the picture from Qana were taken at the Lebanese Red Cross- center in Tyre and shows an ambulance that was destroyed in an airstrike launched by the Israelis. Kassem Shaulan was badly injured --- they lost a couple of rescue workers in the attack. (Tyre, July 31st 2006).


The Lebanese children are the victims in this war. They have seen bombs falling over buildings and killed people in front of them. Some of them have even witnessed their loved ones being blown into pieces in front of them. They will live with their traumas for the rest of their lifes.

This boy was badly injured when the Israelis attacked a shelter in Tyre. They doctors were not able to save his right eye. His father was also badly injured during the attack. (Tyre, July 22nd 2006).
The rest of the pictures show traumatized children.
(Beirut, Saida, Sferai, July 2006).

I tend not to leave a ton of remarks, however I browsed through some comments here "Lebanon".
I do have 2 questions for you if it's okay. Could it be simply me or do a few of the remarks look like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

I was wondering if you ever considered changing
the page layout of your website? Its very well written;
I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.

Maybe you could space it out better?

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you've done a very good job with this.
In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome.

Excellent Blog!
