UNICEF only cares about Lebanese children
I just received this email from UNICEF:
Subject: Children in Lebanon need help today
July 25, 2006Dear Friend,
As hostilities in the Middle East continue, innocent children are bearing the brunt of the conflict. More than a third of those already killed and injured have been children.
With staff in Lebanon since 1948, UNICEF has been able to rapidly assess the situation of the estimated 350,000 children forced to flee their homes. I hope that you will be able to make a donation today to help these children in their hour of critical need.
38 tons of emergency supplies—including essential medicines as well as water and sanitation kits—were sent from UNICEF's warehouse in Copenhagen over the weekend. UNICEF staff on the ground are working around the clock to deliver aid to the children and families isolated by the destruction of roads and bridges.
This is only the beginning of relief efforts in the region. UNICEF still needs $23.8 million to save and protect the children caught in this crisis. Please give generously.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Charles J. Lyons
President, U.S. Fund for UNICEF
I'm not going to try to downplay the effect on Lebanese children - but where's the love for the Israeli children displaced from their homes?
