Lebanon/Israel: ICRC alarmed by high number of civilian casualties and disrespect for international humanitarian law
Geneva (ICRC) - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is alarmed by the increasing number of civilian casualties resulting from the ongoing armed conflict.
In today's military operations by the Israel Defense Forces against the village of Qana, a building sheltering civilians was directly hit. At the time of writing, the Lebanese Red Cross Society and the Lebanese Civil Defense have extracted 28 bodies from the rubble, 19 of whom are children.
So moved by the determined battle Israel is fighting against these monsters I just made a small contribution to the International Federation of Christians and Jews...hope it goes where it should but felt like doing something more than just following the events. God bless the Israelis people and her brave warriors.
