Before the eyes of the world:
Israel is dropping bombs near Beirut’s International Airport as planes full of civilians prepare to take off.
Imagine the global uproar if such a scene took place in Ukraine. But since it’s happening in Lebanon, no one even bats an eyelash. pic.twitter.com/VTJGsXkHn4

@UNICEF
“I don't know whether to scream or to cry.”
Earlier this week, our spokesperson, @1james_elder, met two-year-old Ali in Beirut, Lebanon.
Ali was buried under rubble for 14 hours after his home collapsed in an airstrike. His entire family was killed in the war.
Ceasefire now. pic.twitter.com/dXw84RM9Hm
