The Children of Lebanon

August 3, 2006
Last weekend in Qana, 37 kids died in one night alone when Israeli bombs exploded on an apartment block housing two extended families.

The families were poor and had children and elders which made it difficult for them to travel to a safer place, so they decided to take refuge in the basement of their three storey building.

That night a bomb hit their home. 60 family members died, buried under the rubble of their own home.
