The United States has accelerated the supply to Israel of ‘intelligent’ bombs, capable of precisely destroying underground bunkers, after the outbreak of the war against the Lebanese Hezbollah. The New York Times writes this extensively, according to which the decision was taken by the administration of President George W. Bush after very few discussions, at the explicit request of Israel.

At least 100 million dollars are urgently needed to try to avert the humanitarian catastrophe that threatens Lebanon. The alarm was raised in Larnaca by UN deputy general secretary for humanitarian affairs Jan Egeland, who will reach Beirut tomorrow
