The Independent Appeal: Help save Lebanon's children
Of the 615 people so far confirmed dead in Lebanon, Save The Children says that almost half are children.
They make up one third of the 3,225 injured, and about 45 per cent of the nearly one million Lebanese refugees are under the age of 18, according to Unicef.
But despite the shocking images and the harrowing accounts of suffering, there is an acute shortfall of money raised for the children caught up in the conflict.
They need help now.
The Independent and Save the Children are launching an appeal for the children of Lebanon, for urgent food, medicine and clothing desperately needed as the violence continues to escalate.
Save the Children stresses that just £1 will buy candles and matches for a family; £10 will help provide adequate hygiene for a child and £50 will pay for food for a family in the short term. But international agencies say the public response has been surprisingly slow to appeals for funds.

Habibty, unfortunately there are almost 1000 victims so far... It is unbelievable!!! And I see the brave iDF continues bombing all kind of targets, and they go on with the massacre of women and children. The death toll increases day after day, these savage attacks are nauseating and watching the news makes me sick to my stomach. And seeing the comments posted by "izzies" on the Lebanese blogs makes me feel worse, what kind of people can make such statements... Words fail. Again!
I made a donation for the Lebanese Red Cross, I am thinking of making another one in the deposit from Banque du Liban. Every dollar counts...
dear Sarah
this article was written by the independent newspaper I don't know how they get their figures and how accurate are they.
yes every dollar counts now and every word here on the net also counts,that was the main reason i created this blog.there is a cyber war going on and the suppoeters of the brave IDF are doing their best to tell the world that what 's goingon is a self defense war..we should try our best to show the world the other side of the story.the true one.
God bless you sarah{hugs}
