They keep talking about (they in general, and this piece does as well) evacs from Beirut to Cyprus or from the airport to Cyprus, etc.
I'm curious why nothing has mentioned what they're going to do/offer/suggest for those Americans stuck in the south. Even if there's a temporary cease fire to let expats leave safely, no one still in the south can get through with nearly every road having been struck. Supposedly there may be one route, but it is long, and not a very good road under 'normal' circumstances, and the way things change, that road may have also since been hit. Folks in Tyre, Saida, etc. are essentially forced to just shelter in place otherwise I wonder if they're going to try to get a ceasefire to be long enough to allow for travel time (assuming that one road is passable) or what?
Apparently the American University students were to be evacuated, but it was canceled when Syrian official wouldnt allow them over the border.
CNN said Swiss and Saudi Arabia evacuated using busses already.
