Lebanon in Flames! How much more destruction before they
stop???
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these incredibly
difficult times. |
The people of Lebanon are
facing a tremendous crisis, the full extent of which is not yet
assessable. The infrastructure of the country's has been reduced to
rubble, and 25% of its citizens lost their homes and rendered homeless.
Beyond the most visible
basic needs such as shelter, food and water, medical aid, and fuel, is
the need to alleviate the fear and despair being felt in every part of
the country. To exacerbate the catastrophe, main roads for supplies and
aid have been destroyed. Main Electric plants have been bombed out.
We
appeal to you and the world
to assist in this humanitarian effort and to join us in calling for an
immediate cease fire in conjunction with vigorous diplomatic efforts to
put an end to the conflict and the suffering of the Lebanese people. We
also appeal for diligent bold steps to ensure lasting peace in Lebanon
and the Middle East.
Please
make your humanitarian (and tax deductible in U.S.) donation to the
Red Cross/Red Crescent, UNICEF and/or Mercy Corp at
WWW.Relieflebanon.org

January
5, 2002: Photo courtesy of George Moujaes (Via Al Mukhtar) with a picture
of his home showing a white Christmas in Shweir. Phone lines were down...
so he had to send via a friend's computer... George asked Saad to stop sending
big storms from Europe. 
From
al Muktar's message: Now honestly folks,
how many of you would rather be the one taking these picture? Well you didn't.
These came our way from Shweir courtesy of George (Great first name) Jamil
Moujaes. It is also so fitting blaming it on Saad Merhej because the colors
matches his phantom act....Where are you Saad? For that matter the same can be
said about a lot of you, where are U?
